Gentoo Linux Security Advisory
Title: GOffice: Multiple vulnerabilities (GLSA 200801-19)
Severity: normal
Exploitable: remote
Date: January 30, 2008
Bug(s): #198385
ID: 200801-19
Synopsis
Multiple vulnerabilities in GOffice could result in the execution of
arbitrary code.
Background
GOffice is a library of document-centric objects and utilities based on
GTK.
Affected Packages
Package: x11-libs/goffice
Vulnerable: < 0.6.1
Unaffected: >= 0.6.1
Unaffected: >= 0.4.3 < 0.4.4
Architectures: All supported architectures
Description
GOffice includes a copy of PCRE which is vulnerable to multiple buffer
overflows and memory corruptions vulnerabilities (GLSA 200711-30).
Impact
An attacker could entice a user to open specially crafted documents
with GOffice, which could possibly lead to the execution of arbitrary
code, a Denial of Service or the disclosure of sensitive information.
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
All GOffice 0.4.x users should upgrade to the latest version:
Code: | # emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=x11-libs/goffice-0.4.3" |
All GOffice 0.6.x users should upgrade to the latest version:
Code: | # emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=x11-libs/goffice-0.6.1" |
