+ <title>Imlib 2: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ Two vulnerabilities in Imlib 2 may allow for the execution of arbitrary
+ code.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Imlib 2 is an advanced replacement library for libraries like libXpm.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Stefan Cornelius (Secunia Research) reported two boundary errors in
+ Imlib2:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>One of them within the load() function in the
+ file src/modules/loaders/loader_pnm.c when processing the header of a
+ PNM image file, possibly leading to a stack-based buffer overflow.</li>
+ <li>The second one within the load() function in the file
+ src/modules/loader_xpm.c when processing an XPM image file, possibly
+ leading to a stack-based buffer overflow.</li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted PNM
+ or XPM image, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code
+ with the rights of the user running the application using Imlib 2.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Imlib 2 users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/imlib2-1.4.0-r1"</code>
