|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|

Description |
41 |
=========== |
42 |
|
43 |
John Heasman of NGSSoftware has discovered a stack-based buffer |
44 |
overflow in the StarCalc parser and an input validation error when |
45 |
processing metacharacters in a link. Also OpenOffice.Org includes code |
46 |
from libwpd making it vulnerable to heap-based overflows when |
47 |
converting WordPerfect document tables (GLSA 200704-07). |
48 |
|

Impact |
50 |
====== |
51 |
|
52 |
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted |
53 |
document, possibly leading to execution of arbitrary code with the |
54 |
rights of the user running OpenOffice.org. |
55 |
|
56 |
Workaround |
57 |
========== |
58 |
|
59 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
60 |
|
61 |
Resolution |
62 |
========== |
63 |
|
64 |
All OpenOffice.org users should upgrade to the latest version: |
65 |
|
66 |
# emerge --sync |
67 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-office/openoffice-2.1.0-r1" |
68 |
|
69 |
All OpenOffice.org binary users should upgrade to the latest version: |
70 |
|
71 |
