A security researcher has uncovered yet another set of security flaws in an image component which could put Linux users at risk of system compromise if they view a maliciously crafted image.

The bugs, in the imlib image library found in most Linux systems, haven't been patched by the library's developer, but Linux suppliers are rushing out patches. So far the Gentoo Foundation, Novell's Suse business unit and others have released fixes.
