Background =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D libwmf is a library for converting WMF files. Affected packages =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 media-libs/libwmf < 0.2.8.4-r3 >=3D 0.2.8.4-r3 Description =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D The embedded fork of the GD library introduced a "use-after-free" vulnerability in a modification which is specific to libwmf. Impact =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted WMF file, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application, or a Denial of Service. Workaround =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D All libwmf users should upgrade to the latest version which no longer builds the GD library: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=3Dmedia-libs/libwmf-0.2.8.4-r3" References =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D [ 1 ] CVE-2009-1364 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=3DCVE-2009-1364 Availability =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200907-01.xml Concerns? =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
