3. Problem description:
The xloadimage utility displays images in an X Window System window, loads
images into the root window, or writes images into a file. Xloadimage
supports many image types (including GIF, TIFF, JPEG, XPM, and XBM).
A flaw was discovered in xloadimage via which an attacker can construct a
NIFF image with a very long embedded image title. This image can cause a
buffer overflow. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name
CAN-2005-3178 to this issue.
All users of xloadimage should upgrade to this erratum package, which
contains backported patches to correct these issues.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied. Use Red Hat
Network to download and update your packages. To launch the Red Hat
Update Agent, use the following command:
