=====================================================================

 

1. Summary:

 

Updated openoffice.org packages to correct two security issues are now

available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4.

 

This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red

Hat Security Response Team.

 

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - i386, x86_64

3. Description:

 

OpenOffice.org is an office productivity suite that includes desktop

applications such as a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation manager,

formula editor, and drawing program.

 

Sean Larsson found a heap overflow flaw in the OpenOffice memory allocator.

If a carefully crafted file was opened by a victim, an attacker could use

the flaw to crash OpenOffice.org or, possibly, execute arbitrary code.

(CVE-2008-2152)

 

It was discovered that certain libraries in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3

and 4 openoffice.org packages had an insecure relative RPATH (runtime

library search path) set in the ELF (Executable and Linking Format) header.

A local user able to convince another user to run OpenOffice in an

attacker-controlled directory, could run arbitrary code with the privileges

of the victim. (CVE-2008-2366)

 

All users of openoffice.org are advised to upgrade to these updated

packages, which contain backported fixes which correct these issues.

 

4. Solution:

 

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released

errata relevant to your system have been applied.

 

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use

the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at

http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_58_10188

 

5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

 

450518 - CVE-2008-2152 OpenOffice.org overflow possible on allocation
