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.

Leo Famulari (2):
  gnu: imlib2: Update to 1.4.8.
  gnu: imlib2: Fix CVE-2016-4024.
