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”
