The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200608-17 (libwmf: Buffer overflow vulnerability)
infamous41md discovered that libwmf fails to do proper bounds checking on the MaxRecordSize variable in the WMF file header. This could lead to an head-based buffer overflow.
Impact :
By enticing a user to open a specially crafted WMF file, a remote attacker could cause a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running the application that uses libwmf.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround for this issue.
