| Title: | RHSA-2004:651: imlib security update (Moderate) |
| Description: | The imlib packages contain an image loading and rendering library.
Pavel Kankovsky discovered several heap overflow flaws that were found in the imlib image handler. An attacker could create a carefully crafted image file in such a way that it could cause an application linked with imlib to execute arbitrary code when the file was opened by a victim. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-1025 to this issue.
Additionally, Pavel discovered several integer overflow flaws that were found in the imlib image handler. An attacker could create a carefully crafted image file in such a way that it could cause an application linked with imlib to execute arbitrary code or crash when the file was opened by a victim. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-1026 to this issue.
Users of imlib should update to these updated packages, which contain backported patches and are not vulnerable to this issue.
