+ <title>libgda: Format string vulnerabilities</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ Two format string vulnerabilities in libgda may lead to the execution of
+ arbitrary code.

+ <affected>
+ <package name="gnome-extra/libgda" auto="yes" arch="*">

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ libgda is the library handling the data abstraction layer in the
+ Gnome data access architecture (GNOME-DB). It can also be used by
+ non-GNOME applications to manage data stored in databases or XML files.
+ </p>

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Steve Kemp discovered two format string vulnerabilities in the
+ gda_log_error and gda_log_message functions. Some applications may pass
+ untrusted input to those functions and be vulnerable.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ An attacker could pass malicious input to an application making
+ use of the vulnerable libgda functions, potentially resulting in the
+ execution of arbitrary code with the rights of that application.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All libgda users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=gnome-extra/libgda-1.2.2-r1"</code>
