Description
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Stefan Cornelius (Secunia Research) discovered two boundary errors
within the iGetHdrHeader() function in src-IL/src/il_hdr.c.
Impact
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted
Radiance RGBE file, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary
code.
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 DevIL users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=3Dmedia-libs/devil-1.7.7"
