CVE ID         : CVE-2016-0794 CVE-2016-0795

An anonymous contributor working with VeriSign iDefense Labs

suite, did not correctly handle Lotus WordPro files. This would enable
an attacker to crash the program, or execute arbitrary code, by
supplying a specially crafted LWP file.

For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed
in version 3.5.4+dfsg2-0+deb7u6.
