An integer overflow vulnerability was found in the Compound Document Binary File format parser of the GNOME Project G Structured File Library (libgsf). A specially crafted file can result in an integer overflow that allows for a heap-based buffer overflow when processing the sector allocation table, which can lead to arbitrary code execution. An attacker can provide a malicious file to trigger this vulnerability.
