Synopsis
The remote Mandrake Linux host is missing one or more security updates.
Description
iDefense reported several overflow bugs in libwpd. An attacker could create a carefully crafted Word Perfect file that could cause an application linked with libwpd, such as OpenOffice, to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code if the file was opened by a victim.
Updated packages have been patched to address this issue.
Solution
Update the affected packages.
