Synopsis:	Moderate: libwmf security update
Issue date:	2009-04-30
CVE Names:	CVE-2009-1364

A pointer use-after-free flaw was found in the GD graphics library 
embedded in libwmf. An attacker could create a specially-crafted WMF 
file that would cause an application using libwmf to crash or, 
potentially, execute arbitrary code as the user running the application 
when opened by a victim. (CVE-2009-1364)

After installing the update, all applications using libwmf must be 
restarted for the update to take effect.
