<description>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The wv library fails to do proper arithmetic checks in multiple places,
|
|
possibly leading to integer overflows.
|
|

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
An attacker could craft a malicious file that, when handled with the wv
|
|
library, could lead to the execution of arbitrary code with the
|
|
permissions of the user running the application.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All wv library users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-text/wv-1.2.3-r1"</code>
