The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200503-05 (xli, xloadimage: Multiple vulnerabilities)
Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team has reported that xli and xloadimage contain a flaw in the handling of compressed images, where shell meta-characters are not adequately escaped. Rob Holland of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team has reported that an xloadimage vulnerability in the handling of Faces Project images discovered by zen-parse in 2001 remained unpatched in xli. Additionally, it has been reported that insufficient validation of image properties in xli could potentially result in buffer management errors.
Impact :
Successful exploitation would permit a remote attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands, or arbitrary code with the privileges of the xloadimage or xli user.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time.
