+ <title>libwmf: Buffer overflow vulnerability</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ libwmf is vulnerable to an integer overflow potentially resulting in the
+ execution of arbitrary code.
+ </synopsis>

+ <affected>
+ <package name="media-libs/libwmf" auto="yes" arch="*">

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ libwmf is a library for reading and converting vector images in
+ Microsoft's native Windows Metafile Format (WMF).
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ infamous41md discovered that libwmf fails to do proper bounds checking
+ on the MaxRecordSize variable in the WMF file header. This could lead
+ to an head-based buffer overflow.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ By enticing a user to open a specially crafted WMF file, a remote
+ attacker could cause a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary
+ code with the permissions of the user running the application that uses
+ libwmf.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround for this issue.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All libwmf users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/libwmf-0.2.8.4"</code>
