+ <title>libgsf: Buffer overflow</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ libgsf improperly allocates memory allowing for a heap overflow and
+ possibly the execution of arbitrary code.
+ </synopsis>
+ <product type="ebuild">libgsf</product>
+ <announced>2006-12-12</announced>
+ <revised>2006-12-12: 01</revised>

+ <access>remote</access>
+ <affected>
+ <package name="gnome-extra/libgsf" auto="yes" arch="*">
+ <unaffected range="ge">1.14.2</unaffected>
+ <vulnerable range="lt">1.14.2</vulnerable>
+ </package>

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ The GNOME Structured File Library is an I/O library that can read and
+ write common file types and handle structured formats that provide
+ file-system-in-a-file semantics.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ "infamous41md" has discovered that the "ole_init_info" function may
+ allocate too little memory for storing the contents of an OLE document,
+ resulting in a heap buffer overflow.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ An attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted OLE
+ document, and possibly execute arbitrary code with the rights of the
+ user opening the document.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All libgsf users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=gnome-extra/libgsf-1.14.2"</code>
