libextractor is a library used to extract meta-data from files. It
|
|
makes use of Xpdf code to extract information from PDF files.

<description>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Xpdf is vulnerable to multiple overflows, as described in GLSA
|
|
200501-28. Also, integer overflows were discovered in Real and PNG
|
|
extractors.
|
|

|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
An attacker could design malicious PDF, PNG or Real files which,
|
|
when processed by an application making use of libextractor, would
|
|
result in the execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the user
|
|
running the application.
|
|
</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-0.5.0"</code>
