Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in xli, an image viewer for X11. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  • CAN-2001-0775 A buffer overflow in the decoder for FACES format images could be exploited by an attacker to execute arbitrary code. This problem has already been fixed in xloadimage in DSA 069.

  • CAN-2005-0638

    Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team has reported a flaw in the handling of compressed images, where shell meta-characters are not adequately escaped.

  • CAN-2005-0639

    Insufficient validation of image properties in have been discovered which could potentially result in buffer management errors.
