Debian Security Advisory DSA-1796-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Nico Golde
April 7th, 2009 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : libwmf
Vulnerability : pointer use-after-free
Problem type : local (remote)
Debian-specific: no
Debian bug : 526434
CVE ID : CVE-2009-1364


Tavis Ormandy discovered that the embedded GD library copy in libwmf,
a library to parse windows metafiles (WMF), 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 (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.2.8.4-2+etch1.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.2.8.4-6+lenny1.

For the testing distribution (squeeze), this problem will be fixed soon.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.2.8.4-6.1.


We recommend that you upgrade your libwmf packages.

Upgrade instructions
- --------------------

wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
