A new Abiword vulnerabilities update is available for Ubuntu Linux. Here the announcement:
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-203-1 October 13, 2005
abiword vulnerabilities
CAN-2005-2972
===========================================================
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:
Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog)
Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog)
The following packages are affected:
abiword
The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 2.0.7+cvs.2004.05.05-1ubuntu3.3 (for Ubuntu 4.10), or
2.2.2-1ubuntu2.2 (for Ubuntu 5.04). After a standard system upgrade
you have to restart Abiword to effect the necessary changes.
Details follow:
Chris Evans discovered several buffer overflows 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:
