  <title>OpenOffice.org vulnerability when using DAV servers</title>
  <synopsis>

    included in OpenOffice.org, allowing remote execution of arbitrary code
    when connected to an untrusted WebDAV server.

  <background>
    <p>
    OpenOffice.org is an office productivity suite, including word processing,
    spreadsheets, presentations, drawings, data charting, formula editing, and
    file conversion facilities.
    </p>

  <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>

    # 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>
