> DESCRIPTION:
> A vulnerability has been reported in libgsf, which potentially can be
> exploited by malicious people to compromise an application using the
> library.
> 
> The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the
> "ole_info_read_metabat()" function in gsf/gsf-infile-msole.c. This
> can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow by e.g.
> tricking a user into opening a specially crafted file in an
> application using the library.
> 
> Successful exploitation may allow the execution of arbitrary code.
> 
> SOLUTION:
> Update to version 1.14.3.
