Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in AutoTrace, the worst of
which could cause a Denial of Service condition.
Background
==========
AutoTrace converts bitmap to vector graphics.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 media-gfx/autotrace <= 0.31.1-r8 Vulnerable!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: Certain packages are still vulnerable. Users should migrate
to another package if one is available or wait for the
existing packages to be marked stable by their
architecture maintainers.
Description
===========
Heap-based buffer overflows have been discovered in the
pstoedit_suffix_table_init and pnm_load_rawpbm functions of AutoTrace.
Impact
======
Remote attackers, by enticing a user to process a crafted bmp image
file, could cause a Denial of Service condition.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
Gentoo has discontinued support for AutoTrace. We recommend that users
unmerge AutoTrace:
# emerge --unmerge "media-gfx/autotrace"
