| Description: | The gtk2 package contains the GIMP ToolKit (GTK+), a library for creating graphical user interfaces for the X Window System.
A bug was found in the way gtk2 processes BMP images. It is possible that a specially crafted BMP image could cause a denial of service attack on applications linked against gtk2. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-0891 to this issue.
Users of gtk2 are advised to upgrade to these packages, which contain a backported patch and is not vulnerable to this issue.
