Synopsis
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in OpenOffice.org,
allowing for remote execution of arbitrary code.
Background
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
OpenOffice.org is an open source office productivity suite, including
word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, drawing, data charting,
formula editing, and file conversion facilities.
Affected packages
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 app-office/openoffice < 2.1.0-r1 >=3D 2.1.0-r1
2 app-office/openoffice-bin < 2.2.0 >=3D 2.2.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------
2 affected packages on all of their supported architectures.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Description
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
John Heasman of NGSSoftware has discovered a stack-based buffer
overflow in the StarCalc parser and an input validation error when
processing metacharacters in a link. Also OpenOffice.Org includes code
=66rom libwpd making it vulnerable to heap-based overflows when
converting WordPerfect document tables (GLSA 200704-07).
Impact
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted
document, possibly leading to execution of arbitrary code with the
rights of the user running OpenOffice.org.
Workaround
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
All OpenOffice.org users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=3Dapp-office/openoffice-2.1.0-r1"
All OpenOffice.org binary users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=3Dapp-office/openoffice-bin-2.2.0"
