Background ========= Cairo is a 2D vector graphics library with cross-device output support. The AMD64 x86 emulation GTK+ library packages Cairo libraries for 32bit x86 emulation on AMD64. Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 emul-linux-x86-gtklibs < 20071214 > = 20071214 ------------------------------------------------------------------- # Package 1 only applies to AMD64 users. Description ========== The Cairo versions used by the AMD64 x86 emulation GTK+ libraries were vulnerable to integer overflow vulnerabilities (GLSA 200712-04). Impact ===== A remote attacker could entice a user to view or process a specially crafted PNG image file in an application linked against Cairo, possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running theapplication. Workaround ========= There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========= All AMD64 x86 emulation GTK+ library users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge -a -1 -v "> =app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-gtklibs-20071214" References ========= [ 1 ] GLSA 200712-04 https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/200712-04 Availability =========== This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/200712-24 Concerns? ======== Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
