<background>
<p>
OpenOffice.org is an office productivity suite, including word processing,
spreadsheets, presentations, drawings, data charting, formula editing, and
file conversion facilities.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
OpenOffice.org includes code from the Neon library in functions related to
publication on WebDAV servers. This library is vulnerable to several format
string attacks.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="high">
<p>
If you use the WebDAV publication and connect to a malicious WebDAV server,
this server can exploit these vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code
with the rights of the user running OpenOffice.org.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
As a workaround, you should not use the WebDAV publication facilities.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
There is no Ximian OpenOffice.org binary version including the fix yet. All
users of the openoffice-ximian-bin package making use of the WebDAV
openoffice-ximian source-based package.
</p>
<p>
openoffice users on the x86 architecture should:
</p>
<code>
# emerge sync
# emerge -pv ">=app-office/openoffice-1.1.1-r1"
# emerge ">=app-office/openoffice-1.1.1-r1"</code>
<p>
openoffice users on the sparc architecture should:
</p>
<code>
# emerge sync
# emerge -pv ">=app-office/openoffice-1.1.0-r3"
# emerge ">=app-office/openoffice-1.1.0-r3"</code>
<p>
openoffice users on the ppc architecture should:
</p>
<code>
# emerge sync
# emerge -pv ">=app-office/openoffice-1.0.3-r1"
# emerge ">=app-office/openoffice-1.0.3-r1"</code>
<p>
openoffice-ximian users should:
</p>
<code>
# emerge sync
# emerge -pv ">=app-office/openoffice-ximian-1.1.51-r1"
# emerge ">=app-office/openoffice-ximian-1.1.51-r1"</code>
<p>
openoffice-bin users should:
</p>
<code>
# emerge sync
# emerge -pv ">=app-office/openoffice-bin-1.1.2"
# emerge ">=app-office/openoffice-bin-1.1.2"</code>
