Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
Two buffer overflows have been discovered in STLport possibly leading |
19 |
to the remote execution of arbitrary code. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
STLport is a multi-platform C++ Standard Library implementation. |

Description |
35 |
=========== |
36 |
|
37 |
Two buffer overflows have been discovered, one in "print floats" and |
38 |
one in the rope constructor. |
39 |
|
40 |
Impact |
41 |
====== |
42 |
|
43 |
Both of the buffer overflows could result in the remote execution of |
44 |
arbitrary code. Please note that the exploitability of the |
45 |
vulnerabilities depends on how the library is used by other software |
46 |
programs. |
47 |
|

Resolution |
54 |
========== |
55 |
|
56 |
All STLport users should upgrade to the latest version. |
