More information:

Chris Evans discovered several buffer overflows in the RTF import mechanism of AbiWord, a WYSIWYG word processor based on GTK 2. Opening a specially crafted RTF file could lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

For the old stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 1.0.2+cvs.2002.06.05-1woody3.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 2.2.7-3sarge2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 2.4.1-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your abiword package.
