http://security.gentoo.org/

Severity:	normal
Title:	lib3ds: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code
Date:	05/18/2014
Bugs:	#308033, #519936
ID:	201405-23

Synopsis

A vulnerability in lib3ds might allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.

Background

lib3ds is a library for managing 3D-Studio Release 3 and 4 .3DS files.

Affected packages

Package	Vulnerable	Unaffected	Architecture(s)
media-libs/lib3ds	< 2.0.0_rc1	>= 2.0.0_rc1	All supported architectures

Description

An array index error has been discovered in lib3ds.

Impact

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted 3DS file using an application linked against lib3ds, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All lib3ds 2.0 users should upgrade to the latest version:

      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/lib3ds-2.0.0_rc1"

All lib3ds 1.3 users should upgrade to the latest version:


      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/lib3ds-1.3.0-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.
