Synopsis ========
KOffice and KWord are vulnerable to a buffer overflow in the RTF importer, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.
Background ==========
KOffice is an integrated office suite for KDE. KWord is the KOffice word processor.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 app-office/koffice < 1.4.1-r1 >= 1.4.1-r1 2 app-office/kword < 1.4.1-r1 >= 1.4.1-r1 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 affected packages on all of their supported architectures. -------------------------------------------------------------------
Description ===========
Chris Evans discovered that the KWord RTF importer was vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow.
Impact ======
An attacker could entice a user to open a specially-crafted RTF file, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the user running the affected application.
Workaround ==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution ==========
All KOffice users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-office/koffice-1.4.1-r1"
All KWord users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-office/kword-1.4.1-r1"
