+ chmlib is a library for dealing with Microsoft ITSS and CHM format + files. KchmViewer is a CHM viewer that includes its own copy of the + chmlib library. +

+
+ +

+ Sven Tantau reported about a buffer overflow vulnerability in + chmlib. The function "_chm_decompress_block()" does not properly + perform boundary checking, resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow. +

+
+ +

+ By convincing a user to open a specially crafted ITSS or CHM file, + using KchmViewer or a program makes use of chmlib, a remote attacker + could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running + the software. +

+
+ +

+ There is no known workaround at this time. +

+
+ +

+ All chmlib users should upgrade to the latest version: +

+ + # emerge --sync + # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/chmlib-0.37.4" +

+ All KchmViewer users should upgrade to the latest version: +
