<title>xli, xloadimage: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
<synopsis>
xli and xloadimage are vulnerable to multiple issues, potentially leading
to the execution of arbitrary code.

<p>
xli and xloadimage are X11 utilities for displaying and manipulating a
wide range of image formats.
</p>

<description>
<p>
Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team has reported that
xli and xloadimage contain a flaw in the handling of compressed images,
where shell meta-characters are not adequately escaped. Rob Holland of
the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team has reported that an xloadimage
vulnerability in the handling of Faces Project images discovered by
zen-parse in 2001 remained unpatched in xli. Additionally, it has been
reported that insufficient validation of image properties in xli could
potentially result in buffer management errors.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
Successful exploitation would permit a remote attacker to execute
arbitrary shell commands, or arbitrary code with the privileges of the
xloadimage or xli user.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All xli users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-gfx/xli-1.17.0-r1&quot;</code>
<p>
All xloadimage users should also upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-gfx/xloadimage-4.1-r2&quot;</code>
</resolution>
