MGASA-2024-0337 - Updated libgsf packages fix security vulnerabilities

Publication date: 27 Oct 2024
URL: https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2024-0337.html
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases: 9
CVE: CVE-2024-36474,
     CVE-2024-42415

An integer overflow vulnerability exists in the Compound Document Binary
File format parser of the GNOME Project G Structured File Library
(libgsf) version v1.14.52. A specially crafted file can result in an
integer overflow when processing the directory from the file that allows
for an out-of-bounds index to be used when reading and writing to an
array. This can lead to arbitrary code execution. An attacker can
provide a malicious file to trigger this vulnerability. (CVE-2024-36474)
