lcms - arbitrary code execution

Several security issues have been discovered in lcms, a color management
library. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies
the following problems:

• CVE-2009-0581
  Chris Evans discovered that lcms is affected by a memory leak, which
  could result in a denial of service via specially crafted image files.
• CVE-2009-0723
  Chris Evans discovered that lcms is prone to several integer overflows
  via specially crafted image files, which could lead to the execution of
  arbitrary code.
• CVE-2009-0733
  Chris Evans discovered the lack of upper-bounds check on sizes leading
  to a buffer overflow, which could be used to execute arbitrary code.

For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.17.dfsg-1+lenny1.

For the oldstable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed
in version 1.15-1.1+etch2.

For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution
(sid), these problems will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your lcms packages.
