Wine: Windows Metafile SETABORTPROC vulnerability

Wine: Windows Metafile SETABORTPROC vulnerability There is a flaw in Wine in the handling of Windows Metafiles (WMF) files, which could possibly result in the execution of arbitrary code. wine 2006-01-13 2007-02-26 118101 remote 0.9 20060000 20040000

Wine is a free implementation of Windows APIs for Unix-like systems.

H D Moore discovered that Wine implements the insecure-by-design SETABORTPROC GDI Escape function for Windows Metafile (WMF) files.

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.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All Wine users should upgrade to the latest version:


    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-emulation/wine-0.9.0"
