MDKSA-2006:202: wv |

Check for the version of the wv package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2006:202 (wv). Multiple integer overflows in the WV library in wvWare (formerly mswordview) before 1.2.3, as used by AbiWord?, KWord, and possibly other products, permit user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted Microsoft Word (DOC) file that produces (1) large LFO clfolvl values in the wvGetLFO_records function or (2) a large LFO nolfo value in the wvGetFLO_PLF function. Updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.
