Synopsis: Moderate: gegl security update Issue Date: 2012-11-12 CVE Numbers: CVE-2012-4433 -- An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in the way the gegl utility processed .ppm (Portable Pixel Map) image files. An attacker could create a specially-crafted .ppm file that, when opened in gegl, would cause gegl to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2012-4433) -- SL6 x86_64 gegl-0.1.2-4.el6_3.x86_64.rpm gegl-0.1.2-4.el6_3.i686.rpm gegl-devel-0.1.2-4.el6_3.i686.rpm gegl-devel-0.1.2-4.el6_3.x86_64.rpm i386 gegl-0.1.2-4.el6_3.i686.rpm gegl-devel-0.1.2-4.el6_3.i686.rpm - Scientific Linux Development Team
