Discussion
libwmf 'DecodeImage()' Function Heap Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
libwmf is prone to heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to adequately bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it to an insufficiently sized memory buffer.
Attackers may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application. Failed attacks will cause denial-of-service conditions.
libwmf 0.2-7 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
