Debian Security Advisory DSA-1416-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Moritz Muehlenhoff
November 27, 2007 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : tk8.3
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 8.3.5-6etch1.
Due to the technical limitation in the Debian archive scripts the update
for the old stable distribution (sarge) cannot be released in sync with
the update for the stable distribution. It will be provided in the next
days.
We recommend that you upgrade your tk8.3 packages.
