Synopsis

There is a flaw in Wine in the handling of Windows Metafiles (WMF) files, which could possibly result in the execution of arbitrary code.

Background

Wine is a free implementation of Windows APIs for Unix-like systems.

Affected packages

Package	Vulnerable	Unaffected	Architecture(s)

Description

H D Moore discovered that Wine implements the insecure-by-design SETABORTPROC GDI Escape function for Windows Metafile (WMF) files.

Impact

An attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted Windows Metafile (WMF) file from within a Wine executed Windows application, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the user running Wine.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.
