Detail

Synopsis

A vulnerability in Netpbm could result in execution of arbitrary code or Denial of Service.

Background

Netpbm is a toolkit for manipulation of graphic images, including conversion of images between a variety of different formats.

Description

A stack-based buffer overflow exists in converter/ppm/xpmtoppm.c in Netpbm.

Impact

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted XMP file using Netpbm, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process, or a Denial of Service condition.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All Netpbm users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/netpbm-10.49.00"

Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying some of these packages.

Title: USN-934-1 -- netpbm-free vulnerability
Description: Marc Schoenefeld discovered a buffer overflow in Netpbm when loading certain images. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted XPM image, a remote attacker could crash Netpbm. The default compiler options for affected releases should reduce the vulnerability to a denial of service.
