TITLE:
Fedora update for ocaml-camlimages

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA36305

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/36305/

DESCRIPTION:
Fedora has issued an update for ocaml-camlimages. This fixes some
vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause
a DoS (Denial of Service) and potentially compromise an application
using the library.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to integer overflows within the
"read_png_file()" and "read_png_file_as_rgb24()" functions, which can
be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow when processing
specially crafted PNG images.

SOLUTION:
Apply updated packages using the yum utility ("yum update
ocaml-camlimages").

ORIGINAL ADVISORY:
FEDORA-2009-7494:
