Background ========== OpenOffice.org is an office productivity suite, including word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, drawings, data charting, formula editing, and file conversion facilities. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 app-office/openoffice < 1.1.4-r1 >= 1.1.4-r1 2 app-office/openoffice-bin < 1.1.4-r1 >= 1.1.4-r1 3 app-office/openoffice-ximian < 1.3.9-r1 >= 1.3.9-r1 *>= 1.3.6-r1 *>= 1.3.7-r1 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 3 affected packages on all of their supported architectures. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Description =========== AD-LAB has discovered a heap overflow in the "StgCompObjStream::Load()" function when processing DOC documents. Impact ====== An attacker could design a malicious DOC document containing a specially crafted header which, when processed by OpenOffice.Org, would result in the execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the user running the application. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All OpenOffice.Org users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-office/openoffice-1.1.4-r1" All OpenOffice.Org binary users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-office/openoffice-bin-1.1.4-r1" All OpenOffice.Org Ximian users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose app-office/openoffice-ximian Note to PPC users: There is no fixed OpenOffice.Org binary version for the PPC architecture yet. Affected users are encouraged to switch to the latest OpenOffice.Org source package. Note to SPARC users: There is no stable OpenOffice.Org fixed version for the SPARC architecture. Affected users should switch to the latest OpenOffice.Org Ximian version.
