Descriptions

Heap-based buffer overflow in libwmf 0.2.8.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted BMP image.

Desbordamiento de buffer basado en memoria dinámica en libwmf 0.2.8.4 permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (caída) o posiblemente ejecutar código arbitrario a través de una imagen BMP manipulada.

It was discovered that libwmf did not correctly process certain WMF (Windows Metafiles) containing BMP images. By tricking a victim into opening a specially crafted WMF file in an application using libwmf, a remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
