DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in wvWare, which can be
exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and
potentially compromise an application using the library.
The vulnerabilities are caused due to integer overflows within the
"wvGetLFO_records()" and "wvGetLFO_PLF()" functions. These can be
exploited to cause heap-based buffer overflows by e.g. tricking a
user to open a specially crafted Microsoft Word document with an
application using the library.
Successful exploitation may allow the execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerabilities are reported in version 1.2.2. Other versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.2.3.
