Severity: normal
Exploitable: local, remote
Date: December 09, 2013
Bug(s): #277202
ID: 201312-07
Synopsis
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in OpenEXR, allowing
remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a Denial of Service
condition.
Background
OpenEXR is a high dynamic-range (HDR) image file format developed by
Industrial Light & Magic for use in computer imaging applications.
Affected Packages
Package: media-libs/openexr
Vulnerable: < 1.7.0
Unaffected: >= 1.7.0
Architectures: All supported architectures
Description
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in OpenEXR. Please review
the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
Impact
A context-dependent attacker could execute arbitrary code or cause a
Denial of Service condition via unspecified vectors.
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
All OpenEXR users should upgrade to the latest version: | Code: | # emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/openexr-1.7.0"
|
Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools
such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying some of these packages.
NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA. Updates for all affected architectures are
available since December 08, 2010. It is likely that your system is
already no longer affected by this issue.
