Two heap-based buffer overflows when processing WMF files
|
|
(CVE-2008-2237) and EMF files (CVE-2008-2238) were discovered. Dmitry
|
|
E. Oboukhov also reported an insecure temporary file usage within the
|
|
senddoc script (CVE-2008-4937).

|
|
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted
|
|
document, resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code. A local
|
|
attacker could perform symlink attacks to overwrite arbitrary files on
|
|
the system. Both cases happen with the privileges of the user running
|
|
the application.
