Detail

Synopsis

A buffer overflow vulnerability in Calligra could result in the execution of arbitrary code.

Background

Calligra is an office suite by KDE.

Description

An error in the read() function in styles.cpp could cause a heap-based buffer overflow.

Impact

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted ODF file, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All Calligra users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-office/calligra-2.4.3-r1"
