Debian Security Advisory DSA 337-1 [email protected]

Package : gtksee
Vulnerability : buffer overflow
Problem-Type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Ids : CAN-2003-0444

Viliam Holub discovered a bug in gtksee whereby, when loading PNG
images of certain color depths, gtksee would overflow a heap-allocated
buffer. This vulnerability could be exploited by an attacker using a
carefully constructed PNG image to execute arbitrary code when the
victim loads the file in gtksee.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.5.0-6.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon.
Refer to Debian bug #76346.

We recommend that you update your gtksee package.
