Description

Integer overflow in player.c in libwmf 0.2.8.4, as used in multiple products including (1) wv, (2) abiword, (3) freetype, (4) gimp, (5) libgsf, and (6) imagemagick allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the MaxRecordSize header field in a WMF file.

Solution(s)

With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
