<background>
<p>
wv is a library for conversion of MS Word DOC and RTF files.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
The wv library fails to do proper arithmetic checks in multiple places,
possibly leading to integer overflows.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
An attacker could craft a malicious file that, when handled with the wv
library, could lead to the execution of arbitrary code with the
permissions of the user running the application.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All wv library users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-text/wv-1.2.3-r1&quot;</code>
</resolution>
