TITLE:
libthai Integer Overflow Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA38196

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/38196/

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in libthai, which potentially
can be exploited by malicious people to compromise an application
using the library.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to integer overflows when
processing overly long strings. This can be exploited to cause a
heap-based buffer overflow by tricking an application using the
library into processing specially crafted strings.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 1.1.3.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.1.3.
