Package        : zgv
Vulnerability  : integer overflows, unsanitised input
Problem-Type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CAN-2004-1095 CAN-2004-0999
BugTraq ID     : 11556

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in zgv, an SVGAlib
graphics viewer for the i386 architecture.  The Common Vulnerabilities
and Exposures Project identifies the following problems:

CAN-2004-1095

    Luke Macken and "infamous41md" independently discoverd multiple
    integer overflows in zgv.  Remote exploitation of an integer
    overflow vulnerability could allow the execution of arbitrary
    code.

CAN-2004-0999

    Mikulas Patocka discovered that malicious multiple-image (e.g.
    animated) GIF images can cause a segmentation fault in zgv.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 5.5-3woody1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your zgv package immediately.

        will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
        will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
