KOffice is an integrated office suite for KDE. KWord is the KOffice word processor.
Chris Evans discovered that the KWord RTF importer was vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow.
An attacker could entice a user to open a specially-crafted RTF file, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the user running the affected application.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All KOffice users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-office/koffice-1.4.1-r1"
All KWord users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-office/kword-1.4.1-r1"
