    <p>
    wxGTK is the GTK+ version of wxWidgets, a cross-platform C++ GUI
    toolkit.
    </p>

  <description>
    <p>
    wxGTK is prone to an integer overflow error in the wxImage::Create()
    function in src/common/image.cpp, possibly leading to a heap-based
    buffer overflow.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker might entice a user to open a specially crafted JPEG
    file using a program that uses wxGTK, possibly resulting in the remote
    execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the
    application.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All wxGTK 2.6 users should upgrade to an updated version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=x11-libs/wxGTK-2.6.4.0-r5"</code>
    <p>
    All wxGTK 2.8 users should upgrade to an updated version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=x11-libs/wxGTK-2.8.10.1-r1"</code>
    <p>
    NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA. Updates for all affected architectures are
    available since August 9, 2009. It is likely that your system is
    already no longer affected by this issue.
