Insight
Insight
iDEFENSE discovered a buffer overflow in the wv library, used to convert and preview Microsoft Word documents. An attacker could create a specially crafted document that could lead wvHtml to execute arbitrary code on the victims machine. For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 0.7.1+rvt-2woody3. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your wv package.
