Date: May 14, 2008
Bug(s): #218080
ID: 200805-16

Synopsis


Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in OpenOffice.org, possibly
allowing for user-assisted execution of arbitrary code.


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: app-office/openoffice
Vulnerable: < 2.4.0
Unaffected: >= 2.4.0
Architectures: All supported architectures

Package: app-office/openoffice-bin
Vulnerable: < 2.4.0
Unaffected: >= 2.4.0
Architectures: All 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:
