Package : gtk+2.0 Vulnerability : several Problem-Type : remote Debian-specific: no CVE ID : CAN-2004-0782 CAN-2004-0783 CAN-2004-0788
Chris Evans discovered several problems in gdk-pixbuf, the GdkPixBuf library used in Gtk. It is possible for an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the victims machine. Gdk-pixbuf for Gtk+1.2 is an external package. For Gtk+2.0 it's part of the main gtk package.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project identifies the following vulnerabilities:
CAN-2004-0782
Heap-based overflow in pixbuf_create_from_xpm.
CAN-2004-0783
Stack-based overflow in xpm_extract_color.
CAN-2004-0788
Integer overflow in the ico loader.
For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 2.0.2-5woody2.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems will be fixed soon.
We recommend that you upgrade your Gtk packages.
