Synopsis
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
A buffer overflow vulnerability has been discovered in Imlib2.
Background
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Imlib2 is replacement library from the Enlightenment project for
libraries like libXpm.
Affected packages
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

Description
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Julien Danjou reported a pointer arithmetic error and a heap-based
buffer overflow within the load() function of the XPM image loader.
Impact
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
A remote attacker could entice a user to process a specially crafted
XPM image, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code
with the privileges of the user running the application, or a Denial of
Service.
Workaround
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
All Imlib2 users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=3Dmedia-libs/imlib2-1.4.2-r1"=
