Details
Chris Evans discovered a buffer overflow in the RTF import module of
KOffice. By tricking a user into opening a specially-crafted RTF file,
an attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the AbiWord user.
Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
Ubuntu 5.04
-
koffice-libs
-
-
kword
-
In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
