## Description

Multiple integer overflows in the WV library in wvWare (formerly
mswordview) before 1.2.3, as used by AbiWord, KWord, and possibly other
products, allow user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code
via a crafted Microsoft Word (DOC) file that produces (1) large LFO clfolvl
values in the wvGetLFO\_records function or (2) a large LFO nolfo value in
the wvGetFLO\_PLF function.
