The version of Sun Microsystems OpenOffice.org installed on the remote host is prior to version 3.2. It is, therefore, affected by several issues :

  - Signatures may not be handled properly due to a     vulnerability in the libxml2 library. (CVE-2006-4339)

  - There is an HMAC truncation authentication bypass     vulnerability in the libxmlsec library. (CVE-2009-0217)

  - The application is bundled with a vulnerable version of     the Microsoft VC++ runtime. (CVE-2009-2493)

  - Specially crafted XPM files are not processed properly,     which could lead to arbitrary code execution.
    (CVE-2009-2949)

  - Specially crafted GIF files are not processed properly,     which could lead to arbitrary code execution.
    (CVE-2009-2950)

  - Specially crafted Microsoft Word documents are not     processed properly, which could lead to arbitrary code     execution. (CVE-2009-3301 / CVE-2009-3302)

CVE-2009-2950 openoffice.org: GIF file parsing heap overflow

CVE-2009-2949 openoffice.org: integer overflow in XPM processing

CVE-2009-3301 OpenOffice.org Word sprmTDefTable Memory Corruption

CVE-2009-3302 OpenOffice.org Word sprmTSetBrc Memory Corruption

An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in the way OpenOffice.org parsed XPM files. An attacker could create a specially crafted document, which once opened by a local, unsuspecting user, could lead to arbitrary code execution with the permissions of the user running OpenOffice.org. Note: This flaw affects embedded XPM files in OpenOffice.org documents as well as stand-alone XPM files. (CVE-2009-2949)

An integer underflow flaw and a boundary error flaw, both possibly leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, were found in the way OpenOffice.org parsed certain records in Microsoft Word documents. An attacker could create a specially crafted Microsoft Word document, which once opened by a local, unsuspecting user, could cause OpenOffice.org to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running OpenOffice.org. (CVE-2009-3301, CVE-2009-3302)

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw, leading to memory corruption, was found in the way OpenOffice.org parsed GIF files. An attacker could create a specially crafted document, which once opened by a local, unsuspecting user, could cause OpenOffice.org to crash. Note: This flaw affects embedded GIF files in OpenOffice.org documents as well as stand-alone GIF files. (CVE-2009-2950)

All running instances of OpenOffice.org applications must be restarted for this update to take effect.

Multiple vulnerabilities was discovered and corrected in the OpenOffice.org :

Integer overflow allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted XPM file that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2009-2949).

Heap-based buffer overflow allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted GIF file, related to LZW decompression (CVE-2009-2950).

Integer underflow allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted sprmTDefTable table property modifier in a Word document (CVE-2009-3301).

boundary error flaw allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted sprmTSetBrc table property modifier in a Word document (CVE-2009-3302).

Lack of properly enforcing Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macro security settings, which allows remote attackers to run arbitrary macros via a crafted document (CVE-2010-0136).

User-assisted remote attackers are able to bypass Python macro security restrictions and execute arbitrary Python code via a crafted OpenDocument Text (ODT) file that triggers code execution when the macro directory structure is previewed (CVE-2010-0395).

Impress module does not properly handle integer values associated with dictionary property items, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PowerPoint document that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow, related to an integer truncation error (CVE-2010-2935).

Integer overflow in the Impress allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted polygons in a PowerPoint document that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2010-2936).
