CVE-2008-5187  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:13 imlib2 to version 1.4.0-1.2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream imlib2 package and not the imlib2 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

The load function in the XPM loader for imlib2 1.4.2, and possibly other versions, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted XPM file that triggers a "pointer arithmetic error" and a heap-based buffer overflow, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-2426.
