Synopsis
========
A vulnerability in VIPS could result in privilege escalation.
Background
==========
VIPS is a free image processing system.
Affected packages
=================
——————————————————————-
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
——————————————————————-
1 media-libs/vips < 7.22.4 >= 7.22.4
Description
===========
VIPS places a zero-length directory name in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, which
might result in the current working directory (.) to be included when
searching for dynamically linked libraries.
Impact
======
A local attacker could gain escalated privileges via a specially
crafted shared library.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All VIPS users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge –sync
# emerge –ask –oneshot –verbose “>=media-libs/vips-7.22.4”
NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA. Updates for all affected architectures are
available since November 23, 2010. It is likely that your system is
already no longer affected by this issue.
