Background
Developer’s Image Library (DevIL) is a cross-platform image library.
Description
Stefan Cornelius (Secunia Research) discovered two boundary errors within the iGetHdrHeader() function in src-IL/src/il_hdr.c.
Impact
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted Radiance RGBE file, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
All DevIL users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/devil-1.7.7"
| OS | Version | Architecture | Package | Version | Filename |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gentoo | any | all | media-libs/devil | < 1.7.7 | UNKNOWN |
