Tracker summary

CVE-2008-5187 severity important: SUSE including 13 source package names (imlib2-1.12.3-160000.3.2, imlib2-1.4.2-2.18.53, …), 13 product×package rows across 3 product lines (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 16.0, SUSE Linux Enterprise Software Development Kit 11 SP4, openSUSE Tumbleweed): Fixed 13.

Description:

The load function in the XPM loader for imlib2 1.4.2, and possibly other versions, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted XPM file that triggers a "pointer arithmetic error" and a heap-based buffer overflow, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-2426.
