Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200503-05 - Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team has reported that xli and xloadimage contain a flaw in the handling of compressed images, where shell meta-characters are not adequately escaped. Rob Holland of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team has reported that an xloadimage vulnerability in the handling of Faces Project images discovered by zen-parse in 2001 remained unpatched in xli. Additionally, it has been reported that insufficient validation of image properties in xli could potentially result in buffer management errors. Versions less than 4.1-r2 are affected.
