  <affected>
    <package name="app-text/libwpd" auto="yes" arch="*">

    <p>
    libwpd is a library used to convert Wordperfect documents into other
    formats.
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>
    libwpd contains heap-based overflows in two functions that convert
    WordPerfect document tables. In addition, it contains an integer
    overflow in a text-conversion function.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    An attacker could entice a user to convert a specially crafted
    WordPerfect file, resulting in a crash or possibly the execution of
    arbitrary code with the rights of the user running libwpd.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All libwpd users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-text/libwpd-0.8.9&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
