<p>
|
|
Chris Evans discovered a different set of buffer overflows than
|
|
the one described in GLSA 200509-20 in the RTF import function in
|
|
AbiWord.

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
An attacker could design a malicious RTF file and entice a user to
|
|
import it in AbiWord, potentially resulting in the execution of
|
|
arbitrary code with the rights of the user running AbiWord.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All AbiWord users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-office/abiword-2.2.11"</code>
