[DSA549] DSA-549-1 gtk+ |

DSA-549-1 gtk+ Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Chris Evans discovered several problems in gdk-pixbuf, the GdkPixBuf library used in Gtk. It is possible for a possible hacker to execute arbitrary code on the victims machine. Gdk-pixbuf for Gtk+1.2 is an external package. For Gtk+2.0 it's part of the main gtk package. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project identifies the following vulnerabilities: Heap-based overflow in pixbuf_create_from_xpm. Stack-based overflow in xpm_extract_color. Integer overflow in the ico loader. For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 2.0.2-5woody2. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your Gtk packages.
