Debian Security Advisory DSA-1415-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Moritz Muehlenhoff
November 27, 2007 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : tk8.4
Vulnerability : buffer overflow
Problem type : local(remote)
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2007-5378

It was discovered that Tk, a cross-platform graphical toolkit for Tcl
performs insufficient input validation in the code used to load GIF
images, which may lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 8.4.12-1etch1.

For the old stable distribution (sarge), this problem has been fixed
in version 8.4.9-1sarge1.

We recommend that you upgrade your tk8.4 packages. Updated packages for
sparc will be provided later.

Upgrade instructions
- --------------------

wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.


Debian 3.1 (oldstable)
- ----------------------

Oldstable updates are available for alpha, amd64, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390 and sparc.
