Detail
Problem Description: Updated libwmf packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5. This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop version 4 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64 3. Description: libwmf is a library for reading and converting Windows Metafile Format (WMF) vector graphics. libwmf is used by applications such as GIMP and ImageMagick. A pointer use-after-free flaw was found in the GD graphics library embedded in libwmf. An attacker could create a specially-crafted WMF file that would cause an application using libwmf to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code as the user running the application when opened by a victim. (CVE-2009-1364) Note: This flaw is specific to the GD graphics library embedded in libwmf. It does not affect the GD graphics library from the "gd" packages, or applications using it. Red Hat would like to thank Tavis Ormandy of the Google Security Team for responsibly reporting this flaw. All users of libwmf are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. After installing the update, all applications using libwmf must be restarted for the update to take effect. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259 5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 496864 - CVE-2009-1364 libwmf: embedded gd use-after-free error |

Description: | Tavis Ormandy discovered that libwmf incorrectly used memory after it had been freed when using its embedded GD library. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a crafted WMF file, an attacker could cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code with privileges of the user invoking the program. | ||

Title: | DSA-1796-1 libwmf -- pointer use-after-free | ||
Description: | Tavis Ormandy discovered that the embedded GD library copy in libwmf, a library to parse windows metafiles, makes use of a pointer after it was already freed. An attacker using a crafted WMF file can cause a denial of service or possibly the execute arbitrary code via applications using this library. For the oldstable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 0.2.8.4-2+etch1. For the stable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 0.2.8.4-6+lenny1. For the testing distribution, this problem will be fixed soon. For the unstable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 0.2.8.4-6.1. We recommend that you upgrade your libwmf packages. | ||
