DSA-1493-1 sdl-image1.2 -- buffer overflows
Date Reported:
10 Feb 2008
Affected Packages:
sdl-image1.2
Vulnerable:
Yes
Security database references:
In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2007-6697, CVE-2008-0554.
More information:
Several local/remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the image loading
library for the Simple DirectMedia Layer 1.2. The Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures project identifies the following problems:
CVE-2007-6697
Gynvael Coldwind discovered a buffer overflow in GIF image parsing, which
could result in denial of service and potentially the execution of arbitrary
code.
CVE-2008-0544
It was discovered that a buffer overflow in IFF ILBM image parsing could result
in denial of service and potentially the execution of arbitrary code.
For the old stable distribution (sarge), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.2.4-1etch1. Due to a copy & paste error etch1 was appended to the
version number instead of "sarge1". Since the update is otherwise technically
correct, the update was not rebuild to the buildd network.
For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version
1.2.5-2etch1.
We recommend that you upgrade your sdl-image1.2 packages.
Fixed in:
Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 (oldstable)
