Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Update imlib2 and patch against CVE-2016-4024
Date: Wed, 20 Apr 2016 23:19:52 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1461208313.git.leo@famulari.name> (raw)
This applies from a patch from imlib2's source code repository.
The change fixes an integer overflow on 32-bit machines. The upstream
says:
Security implications:
*) for 32-bit machines: insufficient heap allocation and heap overwrite
in many image loaders, with escalation potential to remote code
execution;
*) for 64-bit machines: it seems, no impact.
In the patch file, there are references to imlib2's source repo and the
CVE page on Mitre.
I tested that feh and scrot still work with this change.
