Rob Holland of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team has reported that an xloadimage vulnerability in the handling of Faces Project images discovered by zen-parse in 2001 remained unpatched in xli. Additionally, it has been reported that insufficient validation of image properties in xli could potentially result in buffer management errors. </p> </description> <impact type="normal"> <p> Successful exploitation would permit a remote attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands, or arbitrary code with the privileges of the xloadimage or xli user. </p> </impact> <workaround> <p> There is no known workaround at this time. </p> </workaround> <resolution> <p> All xli users should upgrade to the latest version: </p> <code> # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/xli-1.17.0-r1"</code> <p> All xloadimage users should also upgrade to the latest version: </p> <code> # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/xloadimage-4.1-r2"</code> </resolution> <references> <uri link="https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2001-0775">CAN-2001-0775</uri> <uri link="https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-0638">CVE-2005-0638</uri> <uri link="https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-0639">CVE-2005-0639</uri> </references> <metadata tag="requester" timestamp="2005-02-28T21:34:13Z"> koon </metadata> <metadata tag="submitter" timestamp="2005-02-28T22:05:32Z"> taviso </metadata> <metadata tag="bugReady" timestamp="2005-03-02T16:53:18Z"> koon </metadata> </glsa>
