+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Kees Cook of Ubuntu discovered that 'KLaola::readBigBlockDepot()' in
+ klaola.cc fills 'num_of_bbd_blocks' while reading a .ppt (PowerPoint)
+ file without proper sanitizing, resulting in an integer overflow
+ subsequently overwriting the heap with parts of the file being read.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ By enticing a user to open a specially crafted PowerPoint file, an
+ attacker could crash the application and possibly execute arbitrary
+ code with the rights of the user running KOffice.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All koffice-libs users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-office/koffice-libs-1.5.0&quot;</code>
