Apache OpenOffice < 3.4.0 Multiple Memory Corruption Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 59191

Synopsis

The remote Windows host has a program affected by multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Apache OpenOffice installed on the remote host is prior to 3.4.0. It is, therefore, affected by several memory corruption issues :

- An integer overflow error exists in 'vclmi.dll' that could allow heap-based buffer overflows when handling embedded image objects. (CVE-2012-1149)

- A memory overwrite error exists in 'libwpd' that could be triggered when processing WordPerfect documents. This memory overwrite may lead to arbitrary code execution.
(CVE-2012-2149)

- Memory checking errors exist in 'filter/source/msfilter msdffimp.cxx' that could be triggered when processing PowerPoint graphics records.
These errors could allow denial of service attacks.
(CVE-2012-2334)

Solution

Upgrade to Apache OpenOffice version 3.4.0 or later.
