SOT Linux Advisory: gdk-pixbufMar 12, 2004, 17:56 (0 Talkback[s])SOT Linux Security Advisory Subject: Updated gdk-pixbuf package for SOT Linux 2003 1. Problem description The gdk-pixbuf library is a toolkit for image loading and pixel buffer manipulation that you can use in conjunction with libart. Gdk-pixbuf also provides convenience functions for progressive image loading, animation, and rendering the libart image buffer to a GdkDrawable instance. A vulnerability in gdk-pixbuf versions before 0.20 exists that could allow a malicious BMP file to crash the Evolution mail client. The updated packages have been patched to use gdk-pixbuf 0.22.0's BMPhandling code. 2. Updated packages SOT Linux 2003 Desktop: i386: SRPMS: SOT Linux 2003 Server: i386: SRPMS: 3.
