Synopsis
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in OpenOffice.org, possibly
allowing for user-assisted execution of arbitrary code.
2.
Impact Information
Background
OpenOffice.org is an open source office productivity suite, including
word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, drawing, data charting,
formula editing, and file conversion facilities.
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.

Resolution Information
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
All OpenOffice.org users should upgrade to the latest version:
Code Listing 3.1: Resolution |
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-office/openoffice-2.4.0"
|
All OpenOffice.org binary users should upgrade to the latest version:
Code Listing 3.2: Resolution |
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-office/openoffice-bin-2.4.0"
|
