- --------------------------------------------------------------------------Package        : wv2
Vulnerability  : integer overflow
Problem type   : local (remote)
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CVE-2006-2197

A boundary checking error has been discovered in wv2, a library for
accessing Microsoft Word documents, which can lead to an integer
overflow induced by processing word files.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain wv2 packages.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.2.2-1sarge1

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your libwv packages.
