Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in imlib2, the worst of which
allows for the remote execution of arbitrary code.
Background
==========
imlib2 is an advanced replacement for image manipulation libraries such
as libXpm. It is utilized by numerous programs, including gkrellm and
several window managers, to display images.
Affected packages
=================
——————————————————————-
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
——————————————————————-
1 media-libs/imlib2 < 1.4.9 >= 1.4.9
Description
===========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in imlib2. Please review
the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted image
file using an application linked against imlib2, possibly resulting in
execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a
Denial of Service condition.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All imlib2 users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge –sync
# emerge –ask –oneshot –verbose “>=media-libs/imlib2-1.4.9”
