<p>
CHMlib is a library for the MS CHM (Compressed HTML) file format plus
extracting and HTTP server utils.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
When certain CHM files that contain tables and objects stored in pages
are parsed by CHMlib, an unsanitized value is passed to the alloca()
function resulting in a shift of the stack pointer to arbitrary memory
locations.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
An attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted CHM file,
resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the permissions of
the user viewing the file.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All CHMlib users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=dev-libs/chmlib-0.39&quot;</code>
</resolution>
