Synopsis |
19 |
======== |
20 |
|
21 |
Multiple integer overflows were discovered in Cairo, possibly leading |
22 |
to the execution of arbitrary code. |
23 |
|
24 |
Background |
25 |
========== |
26 |
|
27 |
Cairo is a 2D vector graphics library with cross-device output support. |
28 |
|
29 |
Affected packages |
30 |
================= |

|

|
37 |
Description |
38 |
=========== |
39 |
|
40 |
Multiple integer overflows were reported, one of which Peter Valchev |
41 |
(Google Security) found to be leading to a heap-based buffer overflow |
42 |
in the cairo_image_surface_create_from_png() function that processes |
43 |
PNG images. |
44 |
|
45 |
Impact |
46 |
====== |
47 |
|
48 |
A remote attacker could entice a user to view or process a specially |
49 |
crafted PNG image file in an application linked against Cairo, possibly |
50 |
leading to the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the |
51 |
user running the application. |
52 |
|
53 |
Workaround |
54 |
========== |
55 |
|
56 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
57 |
|
58 |
Resolution |
59 |
========== |
60 |
|
61 |
All Cairo users should upgrade to the latest version: |
62 |
|
63 |
# emerge --sync |
64 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=x11-libs/cairo-1.4.12" |
65 |
