|
|
libwmf is a library for reading and converting vector images in
|
|
Microsoft's native Windows Metafile Format (WMF).

|
|
<description>
|
|
<p>
|
|
infamous41md discovered that libwmf fails to do proper bounds checking
|
|
on the MaxRecordSize variable in the WMF file header. This could lead
|
|
to an head-based buffer overflow.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</description>
|
|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
By enticing a user to open a specially crafted WMF file, a remote
|
|
attacker could cause a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary
|
|
code with the permissions of the user running the application that uses
|
|
libwmf.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround for this issue.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All libwmf users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/libwmf-0.2.8.4"</code>
|
|
</resolution>
