Technical Description

Fedora has released updated packages to correct multiple vulnerabilities identified in Xloadimage. These flaws are due to buffer overflow errors in "zoom.c", "reduce.c" and "rotate.c" when processing a specially crafted NIFF image containing an overly long title, which could be exploited by attackers to compromise a vulnerable system by convincing a user to open a malicious NIFF image. For additional information, see : FrSIRT/ADV-2005-1990
