Synopsis
========

An integer underflow vulnerability in Pixman may allow a
context-dependent attacker to cause Denial of Service.

Background
==========

Pixman is a pixel manipulation library.

Affected packages
=================

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 x11-libs/pixman < 0.32.4 >= 0.32.4

Description
===========

The trapezoid handling code in Pixman contains an integer underflow
vulnerability.

Impact
======

A context-dependent attacker could entice a user to open a specially
crafted file using an application linked against Pixman, possibly
resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the
process, or a Denial of Service condition.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All Pixman users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=x11-libs/pixman-0.32.4"

Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools
such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying these packages.
