Synopsis
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
zgv contains multiple buffer overflows that can potentially lead to the
execution of arbitrary code.
Background
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
zgv is a console image viewer based on svgalib.
Affected packages
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 media-gfx/zgv < 5.8 >=3D 5.8
Description
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Multiple arithmetic overflows have been detected in the image
processing code of zgv.
Impact
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
An attacker could entice a user to open a specially-crafted image file,
potentially resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the rights of
the user running zgv.
Workaround
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
All zgv users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=3Dmedia-gfx/zgv-5.8"
