15 Synopsis
16 ========
17
18 Multiple integer overflows in CamlImages might result in the remote
19 execution of arbitrary code.
20
21 Background
22 ==========
23
24 CamlImages is an image processing library for Objective Caml.
25
26 Affected packages
27 =================
28
29 -------------------------------------------------------------------
30 Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
31 -------------------------------------------------------------------
32 1 dev-ml/camlimages < 3.0.2 >= 3.0.2
33
34 Description
35 ===========
36
37 Tielei Wang reported multiple integer overflows, possibly leading to
38 heap-based buffer overflows in the (1) read_png_file() and
39 read_png_file_as_rgb24() functions, when processing a PNG image
40 (CVE-2009-2295) and (2) gifread.c and jpegread.c files when processing
41 GIF or JPEG images (CVE-2009-2660).
42
43 Other integer overflows were also found in tiffread.c (CVE-2009-3296).
44
45 Impact
46 ======
47
48 A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted,
49 overly large PNG, GIF, TIFF, or JPEG image using an application that
50 uses the CamlImages library, possibly resulting in the execution of
51 arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
52
53 Workaround
54 ==========
55
56 There is no known workaround at this time.
57
58 Resolution
59 ==========
60
61 All CamlImages users should upgrade to the latest version:
62
63 # emerge --sync
64 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose =dev-ml/camlimages-3.0.2
