Synopsis ========
Two format string vulnerabilities in libgda may lead to the execution of arbitrary code.
Background ==========
libgda is the library handling the data abstraction layer in the Gnome data access architecture (GNOME-DB). It can also be used by non-GNOME applications to manage data stored in databases or XML files.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 gnome-extra/libgda < 1.2.2-r1 >= 1.2.2-r1
Description ===========
Steve Kemp discovered two format string vulnerabilities in the gda_log_error and gda_log_message functions. Some applications may pass untrusted input to those functions and be vulnerable.
Impact ======
An attacker could pass malicious input to an application making use of the vulnerable libgda functions, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the rights of that application.
Workaround ==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution ==========
All libgda users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=gnome-extra/libgda-1.2.2-r1"
References ==========
