Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2005-350
2005-05-02
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Product     : Fedora Core 3
Name        : kdelibs
Version     : 3.3.1
Release     : 2.12.FC3
Summary     : K Desktop Environment - Libraries
Description :
Libraries for the K Desktop Environment:
KDE Libraries included: kdecore (KDE core library), kdeui (user interface),
kfm (file manager), khtmlw (HTML widget), kio (Input/Output, networking),
kspell (spelling checker), jscript (javascript), kab (addressbook),
kimgio (image manipulation).
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

A buffer overflow was found in the kimgio library for KDE 3.3.1. An
attacker could create a carefully crafted PCX image in such a way that it
would cause kimgio to execute arbitrary code when processing the image.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the name CAN-2005-1046 to this issue.

All users of kdelibs should upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported security patch to correct these issues.
