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. |
