+ <title>xli, xloadimage: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ xli and xloadimage are vulnerable to multiple issues, potentially leading
+ to the execution of arbitrary code.

+ xli and xloadimage are X11 utilities for displaying and manipulating a
+ wide range of image formats.
+ </p>

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team has reported that
+ xli and xloadimage contain a flaw in the handling of compressed images,
+ where shell meta-characters are not adequately escaped. Rob Holland of
+ the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team has reported that an xloadimage
+ vulnerability in the handling of Faces Project images discovered by
+ zen-parse in 2001 remained unpatched in xli. Additionally, it has been
+ reported that insufficient validation of image properties in xli could
+ potentially result in buffer management errors.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ Successful exploitation would permit a remote attacker to execute
+ arbitrary shell commands, or arbitrary code with the privileges of the
+ xloadimage or xli user.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All xli users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-gfx/xli-1.17.0-r1"</code>
+ <p>
+ All xloadimage users should also upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-gfx/xloadimage-4.1-r2"</code>
