Gentoo Linux Security Advisory
Title: Libgdiplus: Arbitrary code execution (GLSA 201401-01)
Severity: normal
Exploitable: remote
Date: January 05, 2014
Bug(s): #334101
ID: 201401-01
Synopsis
Multiple integer overflow vulnerabilities in Libgdiplus may allow
remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
Background
Libgdiplus is the Mono library that provide a GDI+ comptible API on
non-Windows operating systems.
Affected Packages
Package: dev-dotnet/libgdiplus
Vulnerable: < 2.6.7-r1
Unaffected: >= 2.6.7-r1
Architectures: All supported architectures
Description
An integer overflow flaw has been discovered in Libgdiplus.
Impact
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially-crafted
TIFF/JPEG/BMP file, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution.
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
All Libgdiplus users should upgrade to the latest version: | Code: | # emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-dotnet/libgdiplus-2.6.7-r1"
|
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 September 12, 2010. It is likely that your system is
already no longer affected by this issue.
