An integer overflow vulnerability exists 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 when processing the directory from the file, allowing an out-of-bounds index to be used when reading and writing to an array. This issue can lead to arbitrary code execution.
