Severity: Normal
Title: zgv, xzgv: Heap overflow
Date: April 21, 2006
Bugs: #127008
ID: 200604-10
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Synopsis
========
xzgv and zgv attempt to decode JPEG images within the CMYK/YCCK colour
space incorrectly, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary
code.
Background
==========
xzgv and zgv are picture viewing utilities with a thumbnail based file
selector.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 media-gfx/xzgv < 0.8-r2 >= 0.8-r2
2 media-gfx/zgv < 5.8 >= 5.8
-------------------------------------------------------------------
2 affected packages on all of their supported architectures.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
Impact
======
An attacker may be able to construct a malicious image that executes
arbitrary code with the permissions of the xzgv or zgv user when
attempting to render the image.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All xzgv users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/xzgv-0.8-r2"
All zgv users should also upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/zgv-5.8"
