+ <background>
+ <p>
+ wv is a library for conversion of MS Word DOC and RTF files.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ The wv library fails to do proper arithmetic checks in multiple places,
+ possibly leading to integer overflows.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ An attacker could craft a malicious file that, when handled with the wv
+ library, could lead to the execution of arbitrary code with the
+ permissions of the user running the application.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All wv library users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-text/wv-1.2.3-r1"</code>
