+ <title>AbiWord: New RTF import buffer overflows</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ AbiWord is vulnerable to an additional set of buffer overflows during RTF
+ import, making it vulnerable to the execution of arbitrary code.
+ </synopsis>
+ <product type="ebuild">AbiWord</product>
+ <announced>October 20, 2005</announced>
+ <revised>October 20, 2005: 01</revised>

+ <access>remote</access>
+ <affected>
+ <package name="app-office/abiword" auto="yes" arch="*">

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ AbiWord is a free and cross-platform word processing program. It
+ allows to import RTF files into AbiWord documents.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <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.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <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 &quot;&gt;=app-office/abiword-2.2.11&quot;</code>
