WebP: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code

WebP: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code An integer overflow vulnerability in WebP could lead to arbitrary code execution or Denial of Service. libwebp December 10, 2013 December 10, 2013: 1 442152 remote 0.2.1 0.2.1

WebP is a lossy image compression format.

An integer overflow flaw has been found in WebP.

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted image in an application linked against WebP, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All WebP users should upgrade to the latest version:


      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/libwebp-0.2.1"
