Raphael Hertzog> I could not find a way to reliably use the above reproducer. No segfault. And valgrind on "xloadimage" spits lots of warnings about use of uninitialized values with a good file and with the reproducer.
Still this CVE has been added to DLA-221-1 because the patch used for CVE-2014-9655 seems to include the fix for this CVE.
