Description

details.
Impact
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted file
using OpenOffice, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with
the privileges of the process, a Denial of Service condition, execution
of arbitrary Python code, authentication bypass, or reading and writing
of arbitrary files.
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
All OpenOffice (binary) users should upgrade to the latest version: Code: | # emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose
">=app-office/openoffice-bin-3.5.5.3"
| All LibreOffice users should upgrade to the latest version: Code: | # emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-office/libreoffice-4.2.5.2"
| All LibreOffice (binary) users should upgrade to the latest version: Code: | # emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose
">=app-office/libreoffice-bin-4.2.5.2"
| We recommend that users unmerge OpenOffice: Code: | # emerge --unmerge "app-office/openoffice"
