Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in emul-linux-x86-java, |
19 |
possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of |
20 |
Service. |
21 |
|
22 |
Background |
23 |
========== |
24 |
|
25 |

Description |
37 |
=========== |
38 |
|
39 |
Chris Evans of the Google Security Team has discovered an integer |
40 |
overflow in the ICC parser, and another vulnerability in the BMP |
41 |
parser. An unspecified vulnerability involving an "incorrect use of |
42 |
system classes" was reported by the Fujitsu security team. |
43 |
|
44 |
Impact |
45 |
====== |
46 |
|
47 |
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted |
48 |
image, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the |
49 |
privileges of the user running Emul-linux-x86-java. They also could |
50 |
entice a user to open a specially crafted BMP image, resulting in a |
51 |
Denial of Service. Note that these vulnerabilities may also be |
52 |
triggered by a tool processing image files automatically. |
53 |
|
54 |
Workaround |
55 |
========== |
56 |
|
57 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
58 |
|
59 |
Resolution |
60 |
========== |
61 |
|
62 |
All Emul-linux-x86-java users should upgrade to the latest version: |
63 |
|
64 |
# emerge --sync |
65 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-java-1.5.0.11" |
