Technical Description
Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in wvWare, which could be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary commands. These flaws are due to integer overflow errors in the "wvGetLFO_records()" and "wvGetLFO_PLF()" functions when processing data read from a malformed Word document, which could be exploited by attackers to compromise a vulnerable system by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted document using an application linked against a vulnerable library.
