Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : OpenOffice.org (MDKSA-2005:082)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 18236

Synopsis

The remote Mandrake Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

AD-LAB discovered a heap overflow in the StgCompObjStream::Load() function when OpenOffice.org processes DOC documents. If an attacker created a malicious DOC document that contained a specially crafted header, it could execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user running OpenOffice.org.

The updated packages have been patched to prevent this problem.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
