Title:	Conectiva Security Advisory CLA-2002:481
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory CLA-2002:481. Imlib is a library that allows X11 programs to use images of various file formats. Alan Cox discovered some situations where a heap corruption[1] may occur when processing some malformed image. Al Viro found that imlib was falling back to the NetPBM library[2] when processing some kind of images, but NetPBM is not suitable to process untrusted image input. An attacker could use a crafted image to exploit a program linked to imlib (like a mailer program or an image viewer) and cause a DoS or even remote code execution. This update to imlib 1.9.14 solves both problems and adds some fixes from the imlib developers. Notice that the update[3] for Conectiva Linux versions prior to 8 was released on 03/28/2002. Solution: The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade' http://online.securityfocus.com/bid/4336 http://online.securityfocus.com/bid/4339 http://distro.conectiva.com.br/atualizacoes/?id=a&anuncio=000470 http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=CLA-2002:481 http://distro.conectiva.com.br/atualizacoes/index.php?id=a&anuncio=002002 Risk factor : High
