Last modified

CVE-2006-4514 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Heap-based buffer overflow in the ole_info_read_metabat function in Gnome Structured File library (libgsf) 1.14.0, and other versions before 1.14.2, allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a large num_metabat value in an OLE document, which causes the ole_init_info function to allocate insufficient memory.. EPSS estimates a 4.04% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
