Synopsis
========
Multiple integer overflow vulnerabilities in Libgdiplus may allow
remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.

Background
==========
Libgdiplus is the Mono library that provide a GDI+ comptible API on
non-Windows operating systems.

Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 dev-dotnet/libgdiplus < 2.6.7-r1 >= 2.6.7-r1

Description
===========
An integer overflow flaw has been discovered in Libgdiplus.

Impact
======
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially-crafted
TIFF/JPEG/BMP file, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution.

Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========
All Libgdiplus users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-dotnet/libgdiplus-2.6.7-r1"=

Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools
such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying some of these
packages.

NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA. Updates for all affected architectures are
available since September 12, 2010. It is likely that your system is
already no longer affected by this issue.
