Debian Security Advisory DSA-069-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Wichert Akkerman

- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : xloadimage
Problem type : buffer overflow
Debian-specific: no
The version of xloadimage (a graphics files viewer for X) that was
shipped in Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 has a buffer overflow in the code that
handles FACES format images. This could be exploited by an attacker by
tricking someone into viewing a specially crafted image using xloadimage
which would allow him to execute arbitrary code.
This problem was fixed in version 4.1-5potato1.

Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 alias potato
