<background>
<p>
mlterm is a multi-lingual terminal emulator.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
mlterm is vulnerable to an integer overflow that can be triggered by
specifying a large image file as a background. This only effects users
that have compiled mlterm with the 'gtk' USE flag, which enables
gdk-pixbuf support.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
An attacker can create a specially-crafted image file which, when used
as a background by the victim, can lead to the execution of arbitrary
code with the privileges of the user running mlterm.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
Re-compile mlterm without the 'gtk' USE flag.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All mlterm users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=x11-terms/mlterm-2.9.2&quot;</code>
</resolution>
