Synopsis ========
AbiWord is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow during RTF import, making it vulnerable to the execution of arbitrary code.
Background ==========
AbiWord is a free and cross-platform word processing program. It allows to import RTF files into AbiWord documents.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 app-office/abiword < 2.2.10 >= 2.2.10
Description ===========
Chris Evans discovered that the RTF import function in AbiWord is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow.
Impact ======
An attacker could design a malicious RTF file and entice the user to import it in AbiWord, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the user running AbiWord.
Workaround ==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution ==========
All AbiWord users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-office/abiword-2.2.10"
