Chris Evans discovered several problems in gdk-pixbuf, the GdkPixBuf
library used in Gtk.  It is possible for an attacker to execute
arbitrary code on the victims machine.  Gdk-pixbuf for Gtk+1.2 is an
external package.  For Gtk+2.0 it's part of the main gtk package.

We recommend that you update your gdk-pixbuf packages.


Upgrade Instructions
- --------------------

Make sure the line

  deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free

is present in your /etc/apt/sources.list and run 'apt-get update' to
update your package lists. Then run

  'apt-get install libgdk-pixbuf2 libgdk-pixbuf-gnome2'

to upgrade your gdk-pixbuf packages.
