Package        : imlib2
Vulnerability  : integer overflows
Problem-Type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CAN-2004-1026

Pavel Kankovsky discovered that several overflows found in the libXpm
library were also present in imlib and imlib2, imaging libraries for
X11.  An attacker could create a carefully crafted image file in such
a way that it could cause an application linked with imlib or imlib2
to execute arbitrary code when the file was opened by a victim.  The
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following
problems:

CAN-2004-1025

    Multiple heap-based buffer overflows.  No such code is present in
    imlib2.

CAN-2004-1026

    Multiple integer overflows in the imlib library.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.0.5-2woody2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your imlib2 packages.


Upgrade Instructions
- - --------------------

wget url
        will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
        will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
        will update the internal database

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
