SUMMARY   : Remote vulnerability in xloadimage
DATE      : 2001-08-28 11:20:00
ID        : CLA-2001:415

DESCRIPTION
 "xloadimage" is a program used to display images.
 This program contains a buffer overflow in the code handling FACE
 type images. In conjunction with plugger and netscape, this could be
 used by remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on the user's
 machine when this user visited a site containing a specially crafted
 image.


SOLUTION
 It is recommended that all xloadimage users apply the update, even if
 plugger is not being used (plugger is only shipped with Conectiva
 Linux 6.0 or higher). It is also recommended that xloadimage be
 deactivated in /etc/pluggerrc if you have plugger installed.
