The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory FLSA-2005:155510.
During testing of a previously fixed flaw in Qt (CVE-2004-0691), a flaw
was discovered in the BMP image processor of gtk2. An attacker could
create a carefully crafted BMP file which would cause an application to
enter an infinite loop and not respond to user input when the file was
opened by a victim. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2004-0753 to this issue.
During a security audit Chris Evans discovered a stack and a heap
overflow in the XPM image decoder. An attacker could create a carefully
crafted XPM file which could cause an application linked with gtk2 to
crash or possibly execute arbitrary code when the file was opened by a
victim. (CVE-2004-0782, CVE-2004-0783)
Chris Evans also discovered an integer overflow in the ICO image
decoder. An attacker could create a carefully crafted ICO file which
could cause an application linked with gtk2 to crash when the file was
opened by a victim. (CVE-2004-0788)
A bug was found in the way gtk2 processes BMP images. It is possible
that a specially crafted BMP image could cause a denial of service
attack on applications linked against gtk2. The Common Vulnerabilities
and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name
CVE-2005-0891 to this issue.
Users of gtk2 are advised to upgrade to these packages which contain
backported patches and are not vulnerable to these issues.
