+  <description>
+    <p>
+    aspell includes a utility for handling wordlists called
+    word-list-compress. This utility fails to do proper bounds checking
+    when processing words longer than 256 bytes.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    If an attacker could entice a user to handle a wordlist containing very
+    long word lengths it could result in the execution of arbitrary code
+    with the permissions of the user running the program.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to
+    upgrade to the latest available version.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All users should upgrade to the latest available version of aspell.
