CVE Reference:   CVE-2009-1364   (Links to External Site)
Date:  May 1 2009
Impact:   Execution of arbitrary code via network, User access via network
Fix Available:  Yes  Vendor Confirmed:  Yes  
Version(s): 0.2.8.4
Description:   A vulnerability was reported in libwmf. A remote user may be able to cause arbitrary code to be executed on the target user's system.

A remote user can create a specially crafted WMF file that, when processed by the target application, will trigger a user-after-free memory error in the embedded GD library and potentially execute arbitrary code on the target system. The code will run with the privileges of the target application.
Impact:   A remote user can create a file that, when processed by the target application, may execute arbitrary code on the target user's system.
Solution:   Red Hat has released a fix.

3. Description:

libwmf is a library for reading and converting Windows Metafile Format
(WMF) vector graphics. libwmf is used by applications such as GIMP and
ImageMagick.

A pointer use-after-free flaw was found in the GD graphics library embedded
in libwmf. An attacker could create a specially-crafted WMF file that would
cause an application using libwmf to crash or, potentially, execute
arbitrary code as the user running the application when opened by a victim.
(CVE-2009-1364)

Note: This flaw is specific to the GD graphics library embedded in libwmf.
It does not affect the GD graphics library from the "gd" packages, or
applications using it.

Red Hat would like to thank Tavis Ormandy of the Google Security Team for
responsibly reporting this flaw.

All users of libwmf are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported patch to correct this issue. After installing the
update, all applications using libwmf must be restarted for the update
to take effect.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network.  Details on how to use
the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259
