+ <title>Gnumeric: Heap overflow in the included PCRE library</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ Gnumeric is vulnerable to a heap overflow, possibly leading to the
+ execution of arbitrary code.
+ </synopsis>
+ <product type="ebuild">Gnumeric</product>
+ <announced>September 03, 2005</announced>
+ <revised>September 03, 2005: 01</revised>
+ <bug>104010</bug>
+ <access>remote</access>
+ <affected>
+ <package name="app-office/gnumeric" auto="yes" arch="*">
+ <unaffected range="ge">1.4.3-r2</unaffected>
+ <vulnerable range="lt">1.4.3-r2</vulnerable>
+ </package>
+ </affected>
+ <background>
+ <p>
+ The Gnumeric spreadsheet is a versatile application developed as
+ part of the GNOME Office project. libpcre is a library providing
+ functions for Perl-compatible regular expressions.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Gnumeric contains a private copy of libpcre which is subject to an
+ integer overflow leading to a heap overflow (see GLSA 200508-17).
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ An attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability by
+ tricking a user into opening a specially crafted spreadsheet, which
+ could lead to the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of
+ the user running Gnumeric.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Gnumeric users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-office/gnumeric-1.4.3-r2&quot;</code>
+ </resolution>
