Detail

Problem Description:

An updated imlib package that fixes several heap overflows is now available.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (Advanced Server) version 2.1 - i386, ia64 Red Hat Linux Advanced Workstation 2.1 - ia64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 2.1 - i386 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 2.1 - i386 Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Desktop version 3 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64

3. Problem description:

Imlib is an image loading and rendering library.

Several heap overflow flaws were found in the imlib BMP image handler. An attacker could create a carefully crafted BMP file in such a way that it could cause an application linked with imlib to execute arbitrary code when the file was opened by a victim. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0817 to this issue.

Users of imlib should update to this updated package which contains backported patches and is not vulnerable to this issue.

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:

up2date

For information on how to install packages manually, refer to the following Web page for the System Administration or Customization guide specific to your system:

Open Source Vulnerability Database (OSVDB)

Id Description
9781 imlib2 BMP Image Decoding Overflow

A remote overflow exists in imlib2. imlib2 fails to decode runlength-encoded BMP images resulting in a buffer overflow. With a specially crafted BMP file, an attacker can cause execution of arbitrary code resulting in a loss of integrity and/or availability.
9435 imlib BMP Decoding Overflow

A remote overflow exists in imlib. imlib fails to perform proper bounds checking on BMP files resulting in a non-descript overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can potentially cause imlib to crash or allow arbitrary code execution resulting in a loss of confidentiality and/or integrity.
