DSA-548-2 imlib Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Marcus Meissner discovered a heap overflow error in imlib, an imaging library for X and X11, that could be abused by a possible hacker to execute arbitrary code on the victim's machine. The updated packages we have provided in DSA 548-1 did not seem to be sufficient, which should be fixed by this update. For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 1.9.14-2woody3. For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 1.9.14-16.2. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 1.9.14-17 of imlib and in version 1.9.14-16.2 of imlib+png2. We recommend that you upgrade your imlib1 packages.
