GEGL: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code

GEGL: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code A vulnerability in GEGL might allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. gegl 2013-10-06 2013-10-06 442016 remote 0.2.0-r2 0.2.0-r2

GEGL is a graph-based image processing framework.

Multiple integer overflows in GEGL may cause a heap-based buffer overflow.

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted PPM image using an application linked against GEGL, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All gegl users should upgrade to the latest version:


      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/gegl-0.2.0-r2"

Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying some of these packages.
