Detail
| Erik Sjölund discovered a buffer overflow in pcdsvgaview, an SVGA PhotoCD viewer. xpcd-svga is part of xpcd and uses svgalib to display graphics on the Linux console for which root permissions are required. A malicious user could overflow a fixed-size buffer and may cause the program to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges. For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 2.08-8woody3. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your xpcd-svga package immediately. |

| 13713 | xpcd pcdsvgaview Local Overflow A local overflow exists in xpcd. Xpcd contains boundary errors in the functions "main()" in "view.c", "CompleteAction()" in "complete.c" and "load_image()" in "plug-0.54.c" which result in buffer overflows. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can cause arbitrary code execution resulting in a loss of integrity. |
