<p>
|
|
"infamous41md" has discovered that the "ole_init_info" function may
|
|
allocate too little memory for storing the contents of an OLE document,
|
|
resulting in a heap buffer overflow.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</description>
|
|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
An attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted OLE
|
|
document, and possibly execute arbitrary code with the rights of the
|
|
user opening the document.
|
|
</p>
|

</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.

</workaround>

<resolution>

All libgsf users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=gnome-extra/libgsf-1.14.2"</code>
