Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.69895
Category:Fedora Local Security Checks
Title:Fedora Core 15 FEDORA-2011-8672 (gdk-pixbuf2)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to gdk-pixbuf2
announced via advisory FEDORA-2011-8672.

Update Information:

It was found that gdk-pixbuf GIF image loader gdk_pixbuf__gif_image_load() routine did not properly handle certain return values from their subroutines. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted GIF image, which once opened in an application, linked against gdk-pixbuf would lead to gdk-pixbuf to return partially initialized pixbuf structure, possibly having huge width and height, leading to that particular application termination due excessive memory use.

The CVE identifier of CVE-2011-2485 has been assigned to this issue.

Solution: Apply the appropriate updates.

This update can be installed with the yum update program. Use
su -c 'yum update gdk-pixbuf2' at the command line.
For more information, refer to Managing Software with yum,
available at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/yum/.
