CVE-2026-112055 Details
Description
wvWare wv through 1.2.9 contains a stack-based out-of-bounds read vulnerability in wvGetPAPX_FKP and wvGetCHPX_FKP caused by an unvalidated FKP run count. Attackers can supply a crafted .doc file with a large crun value to read kilobytes past the 512-byte stack buffer, crashing applications like AbiWord.
A stack-based out-of-bounds read vulnerability has been identified in wvWare wv through 1.2.9. This vulnerability arises in the Word import library's FKP readers, specifically in the functions wvGetPAPX_FKP and wvGetCHPX_FKP. The issue is caused by an unvalidated FKP run count, which allows attackers to craft a .doc file with a large 'crun' value. This manipulation can lead to reading kilobytes of data past a 512-byte stack buffer, potentially crashing applications such as AbiWord. The vulnerability is reachable under the default configuration when the crafted .doc file is opened with any wv consumer or through the AbiWord Word import filter.
Users can update to wv versions later than 1.2.9, where this vulnerability has been addressed.
