Debian Security Advisory DSA 1194-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Moritz Muehlenhoff
October 9th, 2006 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : libwmf
Vulnerability : integer overflow
Problem-Type : local(remote)
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2006-3376
Debian Bug : 381538

It was discovered that an integer overflow in libwmf, the library to read
Windows Metafile Format files, can be exploited to execute arbitrary code
if a crafted WMF file is parsed.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.2.8.3-2sarge1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.2.8.4-2.

We recommend that you upgrade your libwmf package.


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.


Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 alias sarge
