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.
