Synopsis
========

A buffer overflow in gThumb might allow remote attacker(s) to execute
arbitrary code.

Background
==========

gThumb is an image viewer and browser for GNOME.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  media-gfx/gthumb             < 3.10.0                  >= 3.10.0

Description
===========

A heap-based buffer overflow in gThumb's
_cairo_image_surface_create_from_jpeg() function, located in
extensions/cairo_io/cairo-image-surface-jpeg.c was discovered.

Impact
======

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted image
file using gThumb, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code
with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All gThumb users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/gthumb-3.10.0"
