+ <title>SDL_image: Two buffer overflow vulnerabilities</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ Two boundary errors have been identified in SDL_image allowing for the
+ remote execution of arbitrary code or the crash of the application using
+ the library.

+ <affected>
+ <package name="media-libs/sdl-image" auto="yes" arch="*">

+ </package>

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ SDL_image is an image file library that loads images as SDL surfaces,
+ and supports various formats like BMP, GIF, JPEG, LBM, PCX, PNG, PNM,
+ TGA, TIFF, XCF, XPM, and XV.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ The LWZReadByte() function in file IMG_gif.c and the IMG_LoadLBM_RW()
+ function in file IMG_lbm.c each contain a boundary error that can be
+ triggered to cause a static buffer overflow and a heap-based buffer
+ overflow. The first boundary error comes from some old vulnerable GD
+ PHP code (CVE-2006-4484).
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker can make an application using the SDL_image library
+ to process a specially crafted GIF file or IFF ILBM file that will
+ trigger a buffer overflow, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code
+ with the permissions of the application or the application crash.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All SDL_image users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-libs/sdl-image-1.2.6-r1&quot;</code>
+ </resolution>
