Synopsis
========
There is a flaw in Wine in the handling of Windows Metafiles (WMF)
files, which could possibly result in the execution of arbitrary code.
Background
==========
Wine is a free implementation of Windows APIs for Unix-like systems.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 app-emulation/wine < 20050930 >= 20050930
Description
===========
H D Moore discovered that Wine implements the insecure-by-design
SETABORTPROC GDI Escape function for Windows Metafile (WMF) files.
Impact
======
An attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted Windows
Metafile (WMF) file from within a Wine executed Windows application,
possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the rights
of the user running Wine.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All Wine users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-emulation/wine-20050930"
