Gentoo Linux Security Advisory
Title: GTK+ 2, GdkPixbuf: Multiple XPM decoding vulnerabilities (GLSA 200511-14)
Severity: normal
Exploitable: remote
Date: November 16, 2005
Bug(s): #112608
ID: 200511-14
Synopsis
The GdkPixbuf library, that is also included in GTK+ 2, contains vulnerabilities that could lead to a Denial of Service or the execution of arbitrary code.
Background
GTK+ (the GIMP Toolkit) is a toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces. The GdkPixbuf library provides facilities for image handling. It is available as a standalone library and also packaged with GTK+ 2.
Affected Packages
Package: x11-libs/gtk+
Vulnerable: < 2.8.6-r1
Unaffected: >= 2.8.6-r1
Unaffected: >= 2.6.10-r1 < 2.6.11
Unaffected: < 2.0
Architectures: All supported architectures
Package: media-libs/gdk-pixbuf
Vulnerable: < 0.22.0-r5
Unaffected: >= 0.22.0-r5
Architectures: All supported architectures
Description
iDEFENSE reported a possible heap overflow in the XPM loader (CVE-2005-3186). Upon further inspection, Ludwig Nussel discovered two additional issues in the XPM processing functions : an integer overflow (CVE-2005-2976) that affects only gdk-pixbuf, and an infinite loop (CVE-2005-2975).
Impact
Using a specially crafted XPM image an attacker could cause an affected application to enter an infinite loop or trigger the overflows, potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code.
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
All GTK+ 2 users should upgrade to the latest version: Code: | # emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose x11-libs/gtk+ | All GdkPixbuf users should upgrade to the latest version: Code: | # emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/gdk-pixbuf-0.22.0-r5" |
