  A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way libwpd processed certain

  a specially-crafted .wpd file that, when opened in an application linked
  against libwpd, such as OpenOffice.org, would cause the application to
  crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the
  user running the application. (CVE-2012-2149)

  All libwpd users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
  contain a backported patch to correct this issue. All running applications
  that are linked against libwpd must be restarted for this update to take
