+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Tielei Wang reported multiple integer overflow vulnerabilities in the
+ tiff_instantiate(), png_instantiate() and jpeg_instantiate() functions
+ in glyphs-eimage.c, all possibly leading to heap-based buffer
+ overflows.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted TIFF,
+ JPEG or PNG file using XEmacs, possibly resulting in the remote
+ execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the
+ application, or a Denial of Service condition.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All XEmacs users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-editors/xemacs-21.4.22-r1"</code>
+ <p>
+ NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA. Updates for all affected architectures are
+ available since July 26, 2009. It is likely that your system is already
+ no longer affected by this issue.
