The Common Data Format library is a scientific data management package
|
|
which allows programmers and application developers to manage and
|
|
manipulate scalar, vector, and multi-dimensional data arrays in a
|
|
platform independent fashion.

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted CDF
|
|
file, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code with
|
|
the privileges of the user running the application.

<workaround>

There is no known workaround at this time.

<resolution>
|

<p>
|
|
All Common Data Format library users should upgrade to the latest
|
|
version:

<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync

|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sci-libs/cdf-3.2.1"</code>
