  Severity: Normal
     Title: zgv, xzgv: Heap overflow
      Date: April 21, 2006
      Bugs: #127008
        ID: 200604-10

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Synopsis
========

xzgv and zgv attempt to decode JPEG images within the CMYK/YCCK colour
space incorrectly, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary
code.

Background
==========

xzgv and zgv are picture viewing utilities with a thumbnail based file
selector.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package         /  Vulnerable  /                       Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  media-gfx/xzgv      < 0.8-r2                            >= 0.8-r2
  2  media-gfx/zgv         < 5.8                                >= 5.8
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     2 affected packages on all of their supported architectures.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------

Description
===========

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.

Impact
======

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.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All xzgv users should upgrade to the latest version:

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/xzgv-0.8-r2"

All zgv users should also upgrade to the latest version:

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/zgv-5.8"
