A new AbiWord vulnerability update is available for Ubuntu Linux. Here the announcement:
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-188-1 September 29, 2005
abiword vulnerability
CAN-2005-2964
===========================================================
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:
Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog)
Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog)
The following packages are affected:
abiword
abiword-gnome
The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 2.0.7+cvs.2004.05.05-1ubuntu3.2 (for Ubuntu 4.10), or
2.2.2-1ubuntu2.1 (for Ubuntu 5.04). After a standard system upgrade
you need to restart AbiWord to effect the necessary changes.
Details follow:
Chris Evans discovered a buffer overflow in the RTF import module of
AbiWord. By tricking a user into opening an RTF file with specially
crafted long identifiers, an attacker could exploit this to execute
arbitrary code with the privileges of the AbiWord user.
Updated packages for Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog):
