-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- PACKAGE : xloadimage SUMMARY : Remote vulnerability in xloadimage DATE : 2001-08-28 11:20:00 ID : CLA-2001:415 RELEVANT RELEASES : 4.0, 4.0es, 4.1, 4.2, 5.0, prg graficos, ecommerce, 5.1, 6.0, 7.0 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- DESCRIPTION "xloadimage" is a program used to display images. This program contains a buffer overflow in the code handling FACE type images. In conjunction with plugger and netscape, this could be used by remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on the user's machine when this user visited a site containing a specially crafted image. SOLUTION It is recommended that all xloadimage users apply the update, even if plugger is not being used (plugger is only shipped with Conectiva Linux 6.0 or higher). It is also recommended that xloadimage be deactivated in /etc/pluggerrc if you have plugger installed.
