    <p>
    imlib2 is an advanced replacement for image manipulation libraries such
    as libXpm. It is utilized by numerous programs, including gkrellm and
    several window managers, to display images.

    <p>
    M. Joonas Pihlaja discovered several buffer overflows in loader_argb.c,
    loader_png.c, loader_lbm.c, loader_jpeg.c, loader_tiff.c, loader_tga.c,
    loader_pnm.c and an out-of-bounds memory read access in loader_tga.c.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    An attacker can entice a user to process a specially crafted JPG, ARGB,
    PNG, LBM, PNM, TIFF, or TGA image with an "imlib2*" binary or another
    application using the imlib2 libraries. Successful exploitation of the
    buffer overflows causes the execution of arbitrary code with the
    permissions of the user running the application.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All imlib2 users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-libs/imlib2-1.3.0&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
