imlib: buffer overflows in image decoding

Package(s):imlib CVE #(s):CAN-2004-1026
Created:December 6, 2004 Updated:January 13, 2005
Description: Pavel Kankovsky discovered that several overflows found in the libXpm library also applied to imlib. He also fixed a number of other potential flaws. A remote attacker could entice a user to view a carefully-crafted image file, which would potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the user viewing the image. This affects any program that makes use of the imlib library.
