<description>

|
<p>
|
|
Luigi Auriemma has found two heap-based buffer overflows in
|
|
libextractor 0.5.13 and earlier: one of them occurs in the
|
|
asf_read_header function in the ASF plugin, and the other occurs in the
|
|
parse_trak_atom function in the Qt plugin.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</description>
|
|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
By enticing a user to open a malformed file using an application
|
|
that employs libextractor and its ASF or Qt plugins, an attacker could
|
|
execute arbitrary code in the context of the application running the
|
|
affected library.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All libextractor users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/libextractor-0.5.14"</code>
|
|
</resolution>
