The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200510-17 (AbiWord: New RTF import buffer overflows)

Chris Evans discovered a different set of buffer overflows than     the one described in GLSA 200509-20 in the RTF import function in     AbiWord.

Impact :

An attacker could design a malicious RTF file and entice a user to     import it in AbiWord, potentially resulting in the execution of     arbitrary code with the rights of the user running AbiWord.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
