Debian DSA-1307-1 : openoffice.org - heap overflow

high Nessus Plugin ID 25506

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

John Heasman discovered a heap overflow in the routines of OpenOffice.org that parse RTF files. A specially crafted RTF file could cause the filter to overwrite data on the heap, which may lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

Solution

Upgrade the openoffice.org packages.

For the old stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 1.1.3-9sarge7.

For the stable distribution (etch) this problem has been fixed in version 2.0.4.dfsg.2-7etch1.
