Package(s):xzgv CVE #(s):CVE-2006-1060
Created:April 21, 2006 Updated:June 12, 2006
Description: Andrea Barisani of Gentoo Linux discovered xzgv and zgv allocate insufficient memory when rendering images with more than 3 output components, such as images using the YCCK or CMYK colour space. When xzgv or zgv attempt to render the image, data from the image overruns a heap allocated buffer.
