There is no fixed version for Echo:latest antiword.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream antiword package and not the antiword package as distributed by Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

Antiword through 0.37 contains a stack out-of-bounds read vulnerability in vGet8PapInfo and vGet8ChrInfo in prop8.c because FKP run counts and grpprl offsets are not bounded. Attackers can supply a crafted .doc file with malicious FKP pages to read past the 512-byte stack buffer, crashing antiword or corrupting style parsing.
