42 <description>
43 <p>
44 The embedded fork of the GD library introduced a "use-after-free"
45 vulnerability in a modification which is specific to libwmf.
46 </p>
47 </description>
48 <impact type="normal">
49 <p>
50 A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted WMF
51 file, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the
52 privileges of the user running the application, or a Denial of Service.
53 </p>
54 </impact>
55 <workaround>
56 <p>
57 There is no known workaround at this time.
58 </p>
59 </workaround>
60 <resolution>
61 <p>
62 All libwmf users should upgrade to the latest version which no longer
63 builds the GD library:
64 </p>
65 <code>
66 # emerge --sync
67 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-libs/libwmf-0.2.8.4-r3&quot;</code>
