high Nessus Plugin ID 32353
Synopsis
The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related patches.Description
The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200805-16 (OpenOffice.org: Multiple vulnerabilities)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.
Solution
All OpenOffice.org users should upgrade to the latest version:# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=app-office/openoffice-2.4.0' All OpenOffice.org binary users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=app-office/openoffice-bin-2.4.0'
