2005-03-30
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Product : Fedora Core 2
Name : gdk-pixbuf
Version : 0.22.0
Release : 12.fc2
Summary : An image loading library used with GNOME.
Description :
The gdk-pixbuf package contains an image loading library used with the GNOME GUI desktop environment. The GdkPixBuf library provides image loading facilities, the rendering of a GdkPixBuf into various formats (drawables or GdkRGB buffers), and a cache interface.



---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

David Costanzo found a bug in the way gdk-pixbuf processes BMP images. It is possible that a specially crafted BMP image could cause a denial of service attack in applications linked against gdk-pixbuf. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-0891 to this issue.
