Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in imlib2 1.4.3 allow
context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted
(1) ARGB, (2) XPM, or (3) BMP file, related to the IMAGE_DIMENSIONS_OK
macro in lib/image.h.


NOTE: We currently ship imlib 1.4.2 in Fedora (to rawhide) and the advisory noted in the SecurityFocus archives indicates that _only_ 1.4.3 is affected, not previous versions (verified by checking our imlib2 source; there is no IMAGE_DIMENSIONS_OK() macro).  However, 1.4.3 is the current version available for download, so this is to ensure that if imlib2 does get updated to 1.4.3, it includes a fix, or we skip it and wait for 1.4.4 to be released.  The advisory also indicates this is fixed in upstream svn:

Comment 1 Vincent Danen 2010-04-27 22:43:06 UTC
I see new 1.4.3 builds in koji that include the patch.  Thank you for including the patch!

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=168404
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=168405

So the 1.4.3 builds in Fedora 13 and rawhide contain the patch to correct this flaw.
