sdl-image1.2

Several local/remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the image
loading library for the Simple DirectMedia Layer 1.2. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

• CVE-2007-6697
  Gynvael Coldwind discovered a buffer overflow in GIF image parsing,
  which could result in denial of service and potentially the
  execution of arbitrary code.
• CVE-2008-0544
  It was discovered that a buffer overflow in IFF ILBM image parsing
  could result in denial of service and potentially the execution of
  arbitrary code.

For the old stable distribution (sarge), these problems have been fixed
in version 1.2.4-1etch1. Due to a copy & paste error etch1 was appended
to the version number instead of sarge1. Since the update is otherwise
technically correct, the update was not rebuilt on the buildd network.

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.2.5-2+etch1.

We recommend that you upgrade your sdl-image1.2 packages.
