Detail
| "infamous41md" discovered a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in libgsf, a GNOME library for reading and writing structured file formats, which could lead to the execution of arbitrary code. For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 1.11.1-1sarge1 For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 1.14.2-1 We recommend that you upgrade your libgsf packages. |

| Title: | Heap-based buffer overflow in the ole_info_read_metabat function in Gnome Structured File library (libgsf) 1.14.0, and other versions before 1.14.2, allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a large num_metabat value in an OLE document, which causes the ole_init_info function to allocate insufficient memory. | ||
