    Package : wv
    Vulnerability : buffer overflow
    Problem-Type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CAN-2004-0645
    Debian Bug : 264972

    iDEFENSE discovered a buffer overflow in the wv library, used to
    convert and preview Microsoft Word documents. An attacker could
    create a specially crafted document that could lead wvHtml to execute
    arbitrary code on the victims machine.

    For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
    version 0.7.1+rvt-2woody3.

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

    We recommend that you upgrade your wv package.

    Upgrade Instructions
    - --------------------

    wget url
            will fetch the file for you
    dpkg -i file.deb

    sources.list as given below:
