Synopsis |
| 19 |
======== |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Several format string vulnerabilities are present in the Neon library |
| 22 |
included in OpenOffice.org, allowing remote execution of arbitrary |
| 23 |
code when connected to an untrusted WebDAV server. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Background |
| 26 |
========== |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
OpenOffice.org is an office productivity suite, including word |
| 29 |
processing, spreadsheets, presentations, drawings, data charting, |
| 30 |
formula editing, and file conversion facilities. |

Description |
| 56 |
=========== |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
OpenOffice.org includes code from the Neon library in functions related |
| 59 |
to publication on WebDAV servers. This library is vulnerable to several |
| 60 |
format string attacks. |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
Impact |
| 63 |
====== |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
If you use the WebDAV publication and connect to a malicious WebDAV |
| 66 |
server, this server can exploit these vulnerabilities to execute |
| 67 |
arbitrary code with the rights of the user running OpenOffice.org. |
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
Workaround |
| 70 |
========== |
| 71 |
|
| 72 |
As a workaround, you should not use the WebDAV publication facilities. |
| 73 |
|
| 74 |
Resolution |
| 75 |
========== |
| 76 |
|
| 77 |
There is no binary version including the fix yet. All users of the |
| 78 |
openoffice-bin and ximian-openoffice-bin packages making use of the |
| 79 |
WebDAV publication functions should upgrade to the latest version of |
| 80 |
the corresponding source-based package. |
| 81 |
|
| 82 |
openoffice users on the x86 architecture should: |
| 83 |
|
| 84 |
# emerge sync |
| 85 |
|
| 86 |
# emerge -pv ">=app-office/openoffice-1.1.1-r1" |
| 87 |
# emerge ">=app-office/openoffice-1.1.1-r1" |
| 88 |
|
| 89 |
openoffice users on the sparc architecture should: |
| 90 |
|
| 91 |
# emerge sync |
| 92 |
|
| 93 |
# emerge -pv ">=app-office/openoffice-1.1.0-r3" |
| 94 |
# emerge ">=app-office/openoffice-1.1.0-r3" |
| 95 |
|
| 96 |
openoffice users on the ppc architecture should: |
| 97 |
|
| 98 |
# emerge sync |
| 99 |
|
| 100 |
# emerge -pv ">=app-office/openoffice-1.0.3-r1" |
| 101 |
# emerge ">=app-office/openoffice-1.0.3-r1" |
| 102 |
|
| 103 |
openoffice-ximian users should: |
| 104 |
|
| 105 |
# emerge sync |
| 106 |
|
| 107 |
# emerge -pv ">=app-office/openoffice-ximian-1.1.51-r1" |
| 108 |
# emerge ">=app-office/openoffice-ximian-1.1.51-r1" |
| 109 |
