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 < 2.2.1 >= 2.2.1 2 app-office/openoffice-bin < 2.2.1 >= 2.2.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 affected packages on all of their supported architectures. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Description =========== John Heasman of NGSSoftware has discovered a heap-based buffer overflow when parsing the "prdata" tag in RTF files where the first token is smaller than the second one (CVE-2007-0245). Additionally, the OpenOffice binary program is shipped with a version of FreeType that contains an integer signedness error in the n_points variable in file truetype/ttgload.c, which was covered by GLSA 200705-22 (CVE-2007-2754). Impact ====== A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted document, possibly leading to execution of arbitrary code with the rights 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-2.2.1" All OpenOffice.org binary users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-office/openoffice-bin-2.2.1" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2007-0245 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-0245 [ 2 ] CVE-2007-2754 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-2754 [ 3 ] GLSA 200705-22 http://www.gentoo.org/security/en/glsa/glsa-200705-22.xml Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200707-02.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.
