libwmf: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code libwmf bundles an old GD version which contains a "use-after-free" vulnerability. libwmf 2009-07-02 2009-07-02 268161 remote 0.2.8.4-r3 0.2.8.4-r3

libwmf is a library for converting WMF files.

The embedded fork of the GD library introduced a "use-after-free" vulnerability in a modification which is specific to libwmf.

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted WMF file, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application, or a Denial of Service.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All libwmf users should upgrade to the latest version which no longer builds the GD library:

# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/libwmf-0.2.8.4-r3"
