Synopsis |
| 17 |
======== |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Multiple integer overflow vulnerabilities in the AMD64 x86 emulation |
| 20 |
GTK+ libraries may result in the execution of arbitrary code in |
| 21 |
applications using Cairo. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Background |
| 24 |
========== |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Cairo is a 2D vector graphics library with cross-device output support. |
| 27 |
The AMD64 x86 emulation GTK+ library packages Cairo libraries for 32bit |
| 28 |
x86 emulation on AMD64. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Affected packages |
| 31 |
================= |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 34 |
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |
| 35 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 36 |

# Package 1 only applies to AMD64 users. |

Description |
| 41 |
=========== |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
The Cairo versions used by the AMD64 x86 emulation GTK+ libraries were |
| 44 |
vulnerable to integer overflow vulnerabilities (GLSA 200712-04). |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Impact |
| 47 |
====== |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
A remote attacker could entice a user to view or process a specially |
| 50 |
crafted PNG image file in an application linked against Cairo, possibly |
| 51 |
leading to the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the |
| 52 |
user running the application. |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
Workaround |
| 55 |
========== |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
Resolution |
| 60 |
========== |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
All AMD64 x86 emulation GTK+ library users should upgrade to the latest |
| 63 |
version: |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
# emerge --sync |
| 66 |
# emerge -a -1 -v ">=app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-gtklibs-20071214" |
| 67 |
|
