Description Martin Prpič 2015-05-29 07:40:27 UTC

Calibre contains an outdated embedded copy of Mozilla's WOFF code (in src/calibre/utils/fonts/woff/), which is known to have some security issues.

1) https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=552216 (aka CVE-2010-1028)

Patch: https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-1.9.2/rev/827a6883442f

2) https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=522308

Patch: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/69eb050f2c0a

Mozilla's newest release does not contain the vulnerable code.

Created calibre tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1226189]

Comment 2 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2015-05-29 13:13:04 UTC

Is there a shared library that could be used instead? (dnf search doesn't return anything useful.)

I couldn't find anything either. I suppose updating the embedded copy is the way to go. Other than that, you could propose a new package to be added to the repos.

The WOFF code has been removed from Calibre with version 2.34 (released on August 7, 2015).

Fedora already packages newer versions of Calibre, so this should not be an issue any more.

Yep. this looks like it's no longer an issue...
