Detail

Synopsis

Multiple integer overflows in CamlImages might result in the remote execution of arbitrary code.

Background

CamlImages is an image processing library for Objective Caml.

Description

Tielei Wang reported multiple integer overflows, possibly leading to heap-based buffer overflows in the (1) read_png_file() and read_png_file_as_rgb24() functions, when processing a PNG image
(CVE-2009-2295) and (2) gifread.c and jpegread.c files when processing GIF or JPEG images (CVE-2009-2660).

Other integer overflows were also found in tiffread.c (CVE-2009-3296).

Impact

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted, overly large PNG, GIF, TIFF, or JPEG image using an application that uses the CamlImages library, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All CamlImages users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose =dev-ml/camlimages-3.0.2

Title: DSA-1912-2 advi -- integer overflow
Description: Due to the fact that advi, an active DVI previewer and presenter, statically links against camlimages it was neccessary to rebuilt it in order to incorporate the latest security fixes for camlimages, which could lead to integer overflows via specially crafted TIFF files or GIFF and JPEG images. For the stable distribution, these problems have been fixed in version 1.6.0-13+lenny2. Due to a bug in the archive system, the fix for the oldstable distribution cannot be released at the same time. These problems will be fixed in version 1.6.0-12+etch2, once it is available. For the testing distribution and the unstable distribution, these problems have been fixed in version 1.6.0-14+b1. We recommend that you upgrade your advi package.

Title: DSA-1912-1 camlimages -- integer overflow
Description: It was discovered that CamlImages, an open source image processing library, suffers from several integer overflows, which may lead to a potentially exploitable heap overflow and result in arbitrary code execution. This advisory addresses issues with the reading of TIFF files. It also expands the patch for CVE-2009-2660 to cover another potential overflow in the processing of JPEG images. For the oldstable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 2.20-8+etch3. For the stable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 1:2.2.0-4+lenny3. For the testing distribution and the unstable distribution, this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your camlimages package.
