allows to import RTF files into AbiWord documents.

<description>
<p>
Chris Evans discovered that the RTF import function in AbiWord is
vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
An attacker could design a malicious RTF file and entice the user
to import it in AbiWord, potentially resulting in the execution of
arbitrary code with the rights of the user running AbiWord.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All AbiWord users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-office/abiword-2.2.10"</code>
</resolution>
