Detail

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the RTF import feature in AbiWord before 2.2.11 allow user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via an RTF file with long identifiers, which are not properly handled in the (1) ParseLevelText, (2) getCharsInsideBrace, (3) HandleLists, (4) or (5) HandleAbiLists functions in ie_imp_RTF.cpp, a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-2964.

Id Description
20015 AbiWord RTF Importer ie_imp_RTF.cpp Multiple Overflows

Multiple remote overflows exist in AbiWord. The 'ParseLevelText()', 'getCharsInsideBrace()', 'HandleLists()', and 'HandleAbiLists()' functions in 'ie_imp_RTF.cpp' fail to perform proper bounds checking resulting in multiple stack-based buffer overflows. With a specially crafted RTF file, a remote attacker can cause arbitrary code execution resulting in a loss of integrity.
