[***** Start Debian Security Advisory DSA-1493-1 *****] Debian Security Advisory DSA-1493-1 sdl-image1.2 -- buffer overflows Date Reported: 10 Feb 2008 Affected Packages: sdl-image1.2 Vulnerable: Yes Security database references: In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2007-6697, CVE-2008-0554. More information: Several local/remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the image loading library for the Simple DirectMedia Layer 1.2. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: CVE-2007-6697 Gynvael Coldwind discovered a buffer overflow in GIF image parsing, which could result in denial of service and potentially the execution of arbitrary code. CVE-2008-0544 It was discovered that a buffer overflow in IFF ILBM image parsing could result in denial of service and potentially the execution of arbitrary code. For the old stable distribution (sarge), these problems have been fixed in version 1.2.4-1etch1. Due to a copy & paste error etch1 was appended to the version number instead of "sarge1". Since the update is otherwise technically correct, the update was not rebuild to the buildd network. For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version 1.2.5-2etch1. We recommend that you upgrade your sdl-image1.2 packages. Fixed in: Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 (oldstable) Source: http://security.debian.org/pool/updates/main/s/sdl-image1.2/sdl-image1.2_1.2.4-1etch1.diff.gz
