<affected>
<package name="gnome-extra/libgda" auto="yes" arch="*">

<p>
libgda is the library handling the data abstraction layer in the
Gnome data access architecture (GNOME-DB). It can also be used by
non-GNOME applications to manage data stored in databases or XML files.

<description>
<p>
Steve Kemp discovered two format string vulnerabilities in the
gda_log_error and gda_log_message functions. Some applications may pass
untrusted input to those functions and be vulnerable.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
An attacker could pass malicious input to an application making
use of the vulnerable libgda functions, potentially resulting in the
execution of arbitrary code with the rights of that application.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All libgda users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=gnome-extra/libgda-1.2.2-r1&quot;</code>
</resolution>
