Original Release Date: 2005-04-21
URL: http://www.kde.org/info/security/advisory-20050421-1.txt

1. Systems affected:

kdelibs as shipped with KDE 3.2 up to including KDE 3.4.


2. Overview:

kimgio contains a PCX image file format reader that does
not properly perform input validation. A source code audit
performed by the KDE security team discovered several
vulnerabilities in the PCX and other image file format
readers, some of them exploitable to execute arbitrary
code.


3. Impact:

Remotly supplied, specially crafted image files can be used
to execute arbitrary code.


4. Solution:

Source code patches have been made available which fix these
vulnerabilities. Contact your OS vendor / binary package provider
for information about how to obtain updated binary packages.


5. Patch:

A patch for KDE 3.4.0 is available from
ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/security_patches :

78473d4dad612e6617eb6652eec2ab80 post-3.4.0-kdelibs-kimgio.diff

A patch for KDE 3.3.2 is available from
ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/security_patches :
