<package name="x11-libs/wxGTK" auto="yes" arch="*">
<unaffected range="rge">2.6.4.0-r5</unaffected>

<p>
wxGTK is the GTK+ version of wxWidgets, a cross-platform C++ GUI
toolkit.
</p>
</background>
<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 &quot;&gt;=x11-libs/wxGTK-2.6.4.0-r5&quot;</code>
<p>
All wxGTK 2.8 users should upgrade to an updated version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=x11-libs/wxGTK-2.8.10.1-r1&quot;</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.
