+ <title>imlib2: Buffer overflows in image decoding</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ Multiple overflows have been found in the imlib2 library image decoding
+ routines, potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code.

+ <p>
+ imlib2 is an advanced replacement for image manipulation libraries
+ such as libXpm. It is utilized by numerous programs, including gkrellm
+ and several window managers, to display images.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Pavel Kankovsky discovered that several buffer overflows found in
+ the libXpm library (see GLSA 200409-34) also apply to imlib (see GLSA
+ 200412-03) and imlib2. He also fixed a number of other potential
+ security vulnerabilities.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could entice a user to view a carefully-crafted
+ image file, which would potentially lead to the execution of arbitrary
+ code with the rights of the user viewing the image. This affects any
+ program that utilizes of the imlib2 library.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All imlib2 users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/imlib2-1.2.0"</code>
