Description

 A remote overflow exists in XDICT. XDICT fails to check bounds properly when a user's mouse is placed over a word in "Screen Fetch" mode, resulting in a buffer overflow. With a specially crafted document containing a word longer then 88 characters, an attacker can execute arbitrary code resulting in a loss of integrity.

Solution

 Currently, there are no known upgrades or patches to correct this issue. It is possible to correct the flaw by implementing the following workaround(s):
