+ <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 "&gt;=app-office/abiword-2.2.10"</code>
