OpenOffice.org: Multiple vulnerabilities Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in OpenOffice.org, possibly allowing for user-assisted execution of arbitrary code. openoffice openoffice-bin May 14, 2008 May 14, 2008: 02 218080 remote 2.4.0 2.4.0 2.4.0 2.4.0

OpenOffice.org is an open source office productivity suite, including word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, drawing, data charting, formula editing, and file conversion facilities.

iDefense Labs reported multiple vulnerabilities in OpenOffice.org:

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.

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.

There is no known workaround at this time.

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"
