RHBA-2009:1439 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated imlib packages that resolve an issue are now available.

Description

The imlib library is for display depth-independent image-loading and rendering.

These updated imlib packages fix the following bug:

• the imlib library did not properly check to ensure that the MIT SHM extension supported shared

pixmaps, which led to corrupt graphics in some applications, particularly on systems using the
NVIDIA graphics drivers. With these updated packages, imlib now performs the check with the result
that shared pixmaps do not corrupt the graphics of affected applications. (BZ#515765)

All users of imlib, and especially those using the NVIDIA graphics drivers, are advised to upgrade
to these updated packages, which resolve this issue.
