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" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2007-4770 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-4770 [ 2 ] CVE-2007-4771 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-4771 [ 3 ] CVE-2007-5745 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-5745 [ 4 ] CVE-2007-5746 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-5746 [ 5 ] CVE-2007-5747 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-5747 [ 6 ] CVE-2008-0320 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-0320 [ 7 ] GLSA 200803-20 http://www.gentoo.org/security/en/glsa/glsa-200803-20.xml Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200805-16.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
