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"
