CVE-2006-4484 (2008-10-01)

Buffer overflow in the LWZReadByte_ function in the GD extension in allows remote attackers to have an unknown impact via a GIF file with input_code_size greater than MAX_LWZ_BITS, which triggers an overflow when initializing the table array.

CVE-2007-4769 (2008-01-09)

The regular expression parser in TCL before 8.4.17, as used in PostgreSQL 8.2 before 8.2.6, 8.1 before 8.1.11, 8.0 before 8.0.15, and 7.4 before 7.4.19, allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (backend crash) via an out-of-bounds backref number.

CVE-2003-0107 (2003-03-07)

Buffer overflow in the gzprintf function in zlib 1.1.4, when zlib is compiled without vsnprintf or when long inputs are truncated using vsnprintf, allows attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.

CVE-2007-4772 (2008-01-09)

The regular expression parser in TCL before 8.4.17, as used in PostgreSQL 8.2 before 8.2.6, 8.1 before 8.1.11, 8.0 before 8.0.15, and 7.4 before 7.4.19, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted regular expression.

CVE-2007-6067 (2008-01-09)

Algorithmic complexity vulnerability in the regular expression parser in TCL before 8.4.17, as used in PostgreSQL 8.2 before 8.2.6, 8.1 before 8.1.11, 8.0 before 8.0.15, and 7.4 before 7.4.19, allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted "complex" regular expression with doubly-nested states.

NAME

Tk_SetWindowVisual - change visual characteristics of window

SYNOPSIS

#include <tk.h>

int Tk_SetWindowVisual(tkwin, visual, depth, colormap)

ARGUMENTS

Tk_Window tkwin (in)

Token for window.

Visual *visual (in)

New visual type to use for tkwin.

"int" depth (in)

Number of bits per pixel desired for tkwin.

Colormap colormap (in)

New colormap for tkwin, which must be compatible with visual and depth.

DESCRIPTION

When Tk creates a new window it assigns it the default visual characteristics (visual, depth, and colormap) for its screen. Tk_SetWindowVisual may be called to change them. Tk_SetWindowVisual must be called before the window has actually been created in X (e.g. before Tk_MapWindow or Tk_MakeWindowExist has been invoked for the window). The safest thing is to call Tk_SetWindowVisual immediately after calling Tk_CreateWindow. If tkwin has already been created before Tk_SetWindowVisual is called then it returns 0 and doesn't make any changes; otherwise it returns 1 to signify that the operation completed successfully.

Note: Tk_SetWindowVisual should not be called if you just want to change a window's colormap without changing its visual or depth; call Tk_SetWindowColormap instead.

KEYWORDS

colormap, depth, visual
