Synopsis
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
OpenOffice.org is affected by three security vulnerabilities which can
be exploited to allow the execution of arbitrary code by a remote
attacker.
Background
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
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
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 app-office/openoffice < 2.0.3 >=3D 2.0.3
2 app-office/openoffice-bin < 2.0.3 >=3D 2.0.3
-------------------------------------------------------------------
2 affected packages on all of their supported architectures.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Description
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Internal security audits by OpenOffice.org have discovered three
security vulnerabilities related to Java applets, macros and the XML
file format parser.
* Specially crafted Java applets can break through the "sandbox".
* Specially crafted macros make it possible to inject BASIC code into
documents which is executed when the document is loaded.
* Loading a malformed XML file can cause a buffer overflow.
Impact
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
An attacker might exploit these vulnerabilities to escape the Java
sandbox, execute arbitrary code or BASIC code with the permissions of
the user running OpenOffice.org.
Workaround
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Disabling Java applets will protect against the vulnerability in the
handling of Java applets. There are no workarounds for the macro and
file format vulnerabilities.
Resolution
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
All OpenOffice.org users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=3Dapp-office/openoffice-2.0.3"
