||
libwmf: Buffer overflow vulnerability Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200608-17 (libwmf: Buffer overflow vulnerability) infamous41md discovered that libwmf fails to do proper bounds checking on the MaxRecordSize variable in the WMF file header. This could lead to an head-based buffer overflow. Impact By enticing a user to open a specially crafted WMF file, a remote attacker could cause a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running the application that uses libwmf. Workaround There is no known workaround for this issue.
