Apache OpenOffice < 4.1.17 Multiple Vulnerabilities (macOS)

high Nessus Plugin ID 371066

Language:

Synopsis

The remote macOS host has an application installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Apache OpenOffice installed on the remote host is prior to 4.1.17. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - A code execution issue in the Java integration in Apache OpenOffice v4.1.16 and earlier allows a crafted untrusted document to trigger executing arbitrary (even remote) code when opened by the user. (CVE-2026-59265)

 - A crafted DXF document causes a heap buffer overflow in Draw in Apache OpenOffice 4.1.16 and earlier. This could cause a crash or otherwise a corruption of memory areas. (CVE-2026-59267)

 - An out-of-bounds write vulnerability in Apache OpenOffice versions through 4.1.16 could allow an attacker to craft a Microsoft Word document that would crash the program, or otherwise corrupt other memory areas. (CVE-2026-59268)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Apache OpenOffice version 4.1.17 or later.
