Synopsis ========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in OpenOffice.org, possibly allowing for user-assisted execution of arbitrary code.
Background ==========
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 =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 app-office/openoffice < 2.4.0 >= 2.4.0 2 app-office/openoffice-bin < 2.4.0 >= 2.4.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 affected packages on all of their supported architectures. -------------------------------------------------------------------
Description ===========
iDefense Labs reported multiple vulnerabilities in OpenOffice.org:
* multiple heap-based buffer overflows when parsing the "Attribute" and "Font" Description records of Quattro Pro (QPRO) files (CVE-2007-5745),
* an integer overflow when parsing the EMR_STRETCHBLT record of an EMF file, resulting in a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2007-5746),
* an integer underflow when parsing Quattro Pro (QPRO) files, resulting in an excessive loop and a stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-2007-5747),
* and a heap-based buffer overflow when parsing the "DocumentSummaryInformation" stream in an OLE file (CVE-2008-0320).
Furthermore, Will Drewry (Google Security) reported vulnerabilities in the memory management of the International Components for Unicode (CVE-2007-4770, CVE-2007-4771), which was resolved with GLSA 200803-20. However, the binary version of OpenOffice.org uses an internal copy of said library.
Impact ======
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted document, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running OpenOffice.org.
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-2.4.0"
All OpenOffice.org binary users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-office/openoffice-bin-2.4.0"
