[slackware-security] sdl (SSA:2022-354-02)
New sdl packages are available for Slackware 14.2, 15.0, and -current to
fix a security issue.
Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/sdl-1.2.15-i586-13_slack15.0.txz: Rebuilt.
This update fixes a heap overflow problem in video/SDL_pixels.c in SDL.
By crafting a malicious .BMP file, an attacker can cause the application
using this library to crash, denial of service, or code execution.
Thanks to marav for the heads-up.
