  <title>zgv, xzgv: Heap overflow</title>
  <synopsis>
    xzgv and zgv attempt to decode JPEG images within the CMYK/YCCK colour
    space incorrectly, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary
    code.

    <p>
    Andrea Barisani of Gentoo Linux discovered xzgv and zgv allocate
    insufficient memory when rendering images with more than 3 output
    components, such as images using the YCCK or CMYK colour space. When
    xzgv or zgv attempt to render the image, data from the image overruns a
    heap allocated buffer.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    An attacker may be able to construct a malicious image that executes
    arbitrary code with the permissions of the xzgv or zgv user when
    attempting to render the image.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All xzgv users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-gfx/xzgv-0.8-r2&quot;</code>
    <p>
    All zgv users should also upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-gfx/zgv-5.9&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
