How to fix?

Upgrade Echo:latest wv to version 1.2.4-1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

Multiple integer overflows in the WV library in wvWare (formerly mswordview) before 1.2.3, as used by AbiWord, KWord, and possibly other products, allow 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.
