(Red Hat Issues Fix) Netpbm Buffer Overflow in readImageData() in 'giftopnm' May Let Remote Users Execute Arbitrary Code
SecurityTracker Alert ID:  1019517
SecurityTracker URL:  http://securitytracker.com/id/1019517
CVE Reference:   CVE-2008-0554   (Links to External Site)
Date:  Feb 28 2008
Impact:   Execution of arbitrary code via network, User access via network
Fix Available:  Yes  Vendor Confirmed:  Yes  
Version(s): prior to 10.27
Description:   A vulnerability was reported in Netpbm. A remote user can cause arbitrary code to be executed on the target system.

A remote user can create a specially crafted GIF file that, when loaded by the target application, will trigger a buffer overflow in the readImageData() function in 'giftopnm.c' and execute arbitrary code on the target system. The code will run with the privileges of the target application using netpbm.

A demonstration exploit GIF is available at:

http://people.debian.org/~seanius/security/php/poc/38112.gif

Impact:   A remote user can create a file that, when loaded by the target application, will execute arbitrary code on the target user's system.
Solution:   Red Hat has released a fix.

The Red Hat advisory is available at:

https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2008-0131.html

Vendor URL:  netpbm.sourceforge.net/ (Links to External Site)
Cause:   Boundary error

3. Description:

The netpbm package contains a library of functions for editing and
converting between various graphics file formats, including .pbm (portable
bitmaps), .pgm (portable graymaps), .pnm (portable anymaps), .ppm (portable
pixmaps) and others. The package includes no interactive tools and is
primarily used by other programs (eg CGI scripts that manage web-site
images).

An input validation flaw was discovered in the GIF-to-PNM converter
(giftopnm) shipped with the netpbm package. An attacker could create a
carefully crafted GIF file which could cause giftopnm to crash or possibly
execute arbitrary code as the user running giftopnm. (CVE-2008-0554)

All users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages which contain a
backported patch which resolves this issue.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.  

This update is available via Red Hat Network.  Details on how to use 
the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
