Insight
Pavel Kankovsky discovered that several overflows found in the libXpm library were also present in imlib, an imaging library for X and X11.
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 identifies the following problems:
CVE-2004-1025
Multiple heap-based buffer overflows.
CVE-2004-1026
Multiple integer overflows.
For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 1.9.14-2woody2.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 1.9.14-17.1.
We recommend that you upgrade your imlib packages immediately.
