+ <background>
+ <p>Gnash is a GNU flash movie player that supports many SWF features.</p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Gnash:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>The "nsPluginInstance::setupCookies()" function in plugin.cpp creates
+ world-readable cookies with predictable file names (CVE-2011-4328).
+ </li>
+ <li>The "GnashImage::size()" function in GnashImage.h contains an integer
+ overflow error which could cause a heap-based buffer overflow
+ (CVE-2012-1175).
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted SWF
+ file, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of
+ Service condition. Furthermore, a local attacker may be able to obtain
+ sensitive information.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>All Gnash users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-plugins/gnash-0.8.10-r2"
+ </code>
