Severity:	normal
Title:	Libgdiplus: Arbitrary code execution
Date:	01/05/2014
Bugs:	#334101
ID:	201401-01

Synopsis

Multiple integer overflow vulnerabilities in Libgdiplus may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.

Background

Libgdiplus is the Mono library that provide a GDI+ comptible API on non-Windows operating systems.

Affected packages

Package	Vulnerable	Unaffected	Architecture(s)
dev-dotnet/libgdiplus	< 2.6.7-r1	>= 2.6.7-r1	All supported architectures

Description

An integer overflow flaw has been discovered in Libgdiplus.

Impact

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially-crafted TIFF/JPEG/BMP file, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All Libgdiplus users should upgrade to the latest version:

      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-dotnet/libgdiplus-2.6.7-r1"

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

NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA. Updates for all affected architectures are available since September 12, 2010. It is likely that your system is already no longer affected by this issue.
