+ <title>libextractor: Multiple overflow vulnerabilities</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ libextractor is affected by several overflow vulnerabilities in the PDF,
+ Real and PNG extractors, making it vulnerable to execution of arbitrary
+ code.

+ <package name="media-libs/libextractor" auto="yes" arch="*">

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ libextractor is a library used to extract meta-data from files. It
+ makes use of Xpdf code to extract information from PDF files.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Xpdf is vulnerable to multiple overflows, as described in GLSA
+ 200501-28. Also, integer overflows were discovered in Real and PNG
+ extractors.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ An attacker could design malicious PDF, PNG or Real files which,
+ when processed by an application making use of libextractor, would
+ result in the execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the user
+ running the application.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All libextractor users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/libextractor-0.5.0"</code>
+ </resolution>
