libgda is the library handling the data abstraction layer in the
|
||
|
|
Gnome data access architecture (GNOME-DB). It can also be used by
|
||
|
|
non-GNOME applications to manage data stored in databases or XML files.

|
Steve Kemp discovered two format string vulnerabilities in the
|
||
|
|
gda_log_error and gda_log_message functions. Some applications may pass
|
||
|
|
untrusted input to those functions and be vulnerable.
|
||
|
|
</p>

||

|
<impact type="normal">
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
An attacker could pass malicious input to an application making
|
||
|
|
use of the vulnerable libgda functions, potentially resulting in the
|
||
|
|
execution of arbitrary code with the rights of that application.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
</impact>
|
||
|
|
<workaround>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
</workaround>
|
||
|
|
<resolution>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
All libgda users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
||
|
|
</p>

<code>
|
||
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
||
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=gnome-extra/libgda-1.2.2-r1"</code>
