The embedded fork of the GD library introduced a "use-after-free"
|
|
vulnerability in a modification which is specific to libwmf.

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

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

</workaround>

<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All libwmf users should upgrade to the latest version which no longer
|
|
builds the GD library:

<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/libwmf-0.2.8.4-r3"</code>
