    descriptionThe 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.

    descriptionSecunia reports : infamous41md has reported a vulnerability in libwmf, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise an application using the vulnerable library. The vulnerability is caused due to an integer overflow error when allocating memory based on a value taken directly from a WMF file without performing any checks. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow when a specially crafted WMF file is processed.
