GLSA-200712-24 : AMD64 x86 emulation GTK+ library: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code

high Nessus Plugin ID 29821

Synopsis

The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200712-24 (AMD64 x86 emulation GTK+ library: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code)

 The Cairo versions used by the AMD64 x86 emulation GTK+ libraries were vulnerable to integer overflow vulnerabilities (GLSA 200712-04).
 Impact :

 A remote attacker could entice a user to view or process a specially crafted PNG image file in an application linked against Cairo, possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
 Workaround :

 There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

All AMD64 x86 emulation GTK+ library users should upgrade to the latest version:
 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-gtklibs-20071214'
