+ <background>
+ <p>
+ wxGTK is the GTK+ version of wxWidgets, a cross-platform C++ GUI
+ toolkit.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ wxGTK is prone to an integer overflow error in the wxImage::Create()
+ function in src/common/image.cpp, possibly leading to a heap-based
+ buffer overflow.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker might entice a user to open a specially crafted JPEG
+ file using a program that uses wxGTK, possibly resulting in the remote
+ execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the
+ application.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All wxGTK 2.6 users should upgrade to an updated version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=x11-libs/wxGTK-2.6.4.0-r5"</code>
+ <p>
+ All wxGTK 2.8 users should upgrade to an updated version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=x11-libs/wxGTK-2.8.10.1-r1"</code>
+ <p>
+ NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA. Updates for all affected architectures are
+ available since August 9, 2009. It is likely that your system is
+ already no longer affected by this issue.
