Synopsis |
| 16 |
======== |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
OpenOffice.Org is vulnerable to a heap overflow when processing DOC |
| 19 |
documents, which could lead to arbitrary code execution. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Background |
| 22 |
========== |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
OpenOffice.org is an office productivity suite, including word |
| 25 |
processing, spreadsheets, presentations, drawings, data charting, |
| 26 |
formula editing, and file conversion facilities. |
| 27 |
|

Description |
| 44 |
=========== |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
AD-LAB has discovered a heap overflow in the "StgCompObjStream::Load()" |
| 47 |
function when processing DOC documents. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
Impact |
| 50 |
====== |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
An attacker could design a malicious DOC document containing a |
| 53 |
specially crafted header which, when processed by OpenOffice.Org, would |
| 54 |
result in the execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the user |
| 55 |
running the application. |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
Workaround |
| 58 |
========== |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
Resolution |
| 63 |
========== |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
All OpenOffice.Org users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
# emerge --sync |
| 68 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-office/openoffice-1.1.4-r1" |
| 69 |
|
| 70 |
All OpenOffice.Org binary users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 71 |
|
| 72 |
# emerge --sync |
| 73 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-office/openoffice-bin-1.1.4-r1" |
| 74 |
|
| 75 |
All OpenOffice.Org Ximian users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 76 |
|
| 77 |
# emerge --sync |
| 78 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose app-office/openoffice-ximian |
| 79 |
|
| 80 |
Note to PPC users: There is no fixed OpenOffice.Org binary version for |
| 81 |
the PPC architecture yet. Affected users are encouraged to switch to |
| 82 |
the latest OpenOffice.Org source package. |
| 83 |
|
| 84 |
Note to SPARC users: There is no stable OpenOffice.Org fixed version |
| 85 |
for the SPARC architecture. Affected users should switch to the latest |
| 86 |
OpenOffice.Org Ximian version. |
