Fedora 31: FEDORA-2020-c696d8604b Critical: libEMF Memory Access Issues

fedora
Calendar Grey May 26, 2020
Dist Fedora Esm H88
The recent update for Fedora 31 libEMF tackles significant security vulnerabilities linked to denial of service scenarios and memory corruption problems.
Latest upstream release fixing security issues.

Summary

libEMF is a library for generating Enhanced Metafiles on systems which

don't natively support the ECMA-234 Graphics Device Interface

(GDI). The library is intended to be used as a driver for other

graphics programs such as Grace or gnuplot. Therefore, it implements a

very limited subset of the GDI.
