+ <title>XnView: Stack-based buffer overflow</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ XnView is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow and possible remote
+ code execution when handling XPM image files.
+ </synopsis>
+ <product type="ebuild">xnview</product>
+ <announced>2007-07-11</announced>
+ <revised>2007-07-11: 01</revised>
+ <bug>175670</bug>
+ <access>remote</access>
+ <affected>
+ <package name="x11-misc/xnview" auto="yes" arch="x86">
+ <vulnerable range="lt">1.70</vulnerable>
+ </package>
+ </affected>
+ <background>
+ <p>
+ XnView is software to view and convert graphics files. XPixMap (XPM) is
+ a simple ascii-based graphics format.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ XnView is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow while processing
+ an XPM file with an overly long section string (greater than 1024
+ bytes).
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ An attacker could entice a user to view a specially crafted XPM file
+ with XnView that could trigger the vulnerability and possibly execute
+ arbitrary code with the rights of the user running XnView.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ No update appears to be forthcoming from the XnView developer and
+ XnView is proprietary, so the XnView package has been masked in
+ Portage. We recommend that users select an alternate graphics viewer
+ and conversion utility, and unmerge XnView:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --unmerge xnview</code>
