Synopsis ========
libgsf improperly allocates memory allowing for a heap overflow and possibly the execution of arbitrary code.
Background ==========
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.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 gnome-extra/libgsf < 1.14.2 >= 1.14.2
Description ===========
"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.
Impact ======
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.
Workaround ==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution ==========
All libgsf users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=gnome-extra/libgsf-1.14.2"
References ==========
