RedHat: Low: xloadimage security update
Summary
Summary
The xloadimage utility displays images in an X Window System window, loads images into the root window, or writes images into a file. Xloadimage supports many image types (including GIF, TIFF, JPEG, XPM, and XBM). A flaw was discovered in xloadimage via which an attacker can construct a NIFF image with a very long embedded image title. This image can cause a buffer overflow. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-3178 to this issue. All users of xloadimage should upgrade to this erratum package, which contains backported patches to correct these issues.
