lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

<affected>
<package name="media-libs/libextractor" auto="yes" arch="*">

<background>
<p>
libextractor is a library used to extract metadata from arbitrary
files.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
Luigi Auriemma has found two heap-based buffer overflows in
libextractor 0.5.13 and earlier: one of them occurs in the
asf_read_header function in the ASF plugin, and the other occurs in the
parse_trak_atom function in the Qt plugin.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
By enticing a user to open a malformed file using an application
that employs libextractor and its ASF or Qt plugins, an attacker could
execute arbitrary code in the context of the application running the
affected library.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All libextractor users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/libextractor-0.5.14"</code>
</resolution>
