soffice in OpenOffice.org (OOo) 3.x before 3.3 places a zero-length directory name in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, which allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse shared library in the current working directory.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201408-19 (OpenOffice, LibreOffice: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in OpenOffice and       Libreoffice. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for       details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted file       using OpenOffice, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with       the privileges of the process, a Denial of Service condition, execution       of arbitrary Python code, authentication bypass, or reading and writing       of arbitrary files.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The remote Oracle Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2011-0183 advisory.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in OpenOffice.org :

Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities allow remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in an entry in an XSLT JAR filter description file, an Extension (aka OXT) file, or unspecified other JAR or ZIP files (CVE-2010-3450).

Use-after-free vulnerability in oowriter allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via malformed tables in an RTF document (CVE-2010-3451).

Use-after-free vulnerability in oowriter allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted tags in an RTF document (CVE-2010-3452).

The WW8ListManager::WW8ListManager function in oowriter does not properly handle an unspecified number of list levels in user-defined list styles in WW8 data in a Microsoft Word document, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted .DOC file that triggers an out-of-bounds write (CVE-2010-3453).

Multiple off-by-one errors in the WW8DopTypography::ReadFromMem function in oowriter allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted typography information in a Microsoft Word .DOC file that triggers an out-of-bounds write (CVE-2010-3454).

soffice places a zero-length directory name in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, which allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse shared library in the current working directory (CVE-2010-3689).

Heap-based buffer overflow in Impress allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PNG file in an ODF or Microsoft Office document, as demonstrated by a PowerPoint (aka PPT) document (CVE-2010-4253).

Heap-based buffer overflow in Impress allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted TGA file in an ODF or Microsoft Office document (CVE-2010-4643).

OpenOffice.org packages have been updated in order to fix these issues. Additionally openoffice.org-voikko packages that require OpenOffice.org are also being provided and voikko package is upgraded from 2.0 to 2.2.1 version in MES5.1.

Versions of OpenOffice earlier than 3.3 are potentially affected by several issues :

  - Issues exist relating to PowerPoint document parsing that may lead to arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2010-2935, CVE-2010-2936)

  - A directory traversal vulnerability exists in zip / jar package extraction. (CVE-2010-3450)

  - Issues exist relating to RTF document processing that may lead to arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2010-3451, CVE-2010-3452)

  - Issues exist relating to Word document processing that may lead to arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2010-3453, CVE-2010-3454)

  - The OpenOffice.org start script and other shell scripts expand the LD_LIBRARY_PATH in a way that the current directory might be searched for libraries before /lib and /usr/lib. (CVE-2010-3689)

  - Issues exist in the third party XPDF library relating to PDf processing that may allow arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2010-3702, CVE-2010-3704)

  - OpenOffice.org includes a version of LIBXML2 that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities. (CVE-2010-4008, CVE-2010-4494)

  - An issue exists with PNG file processing that may allow arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2010-4253)

  - An issue exists with TGA file processing that may allow arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2010-4643)

Several security related problems have been discovered in the OpenOffice.org package that allows malformed documents to trick the system into crashes or even the execution of arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2010-3450     During an internal security audit within Red Hat, a     directory traversal vulnerability has been discovered in     the way OpenOffice.org 3.1.1 through 3.2.1 processes XML     filter files. If a local user is tricked into opening a     specially crafted OOo XML filters package file, this     problem could allow remote attackers to create or     overwrite arbitrary files belonging to local user or,     potentially, execute arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2010-3451     During his work as a consultant at Virtual Security     Research (VSR), Dan Rosenberg discovered a vulnerability     in OpenOffice.org's RTF parsing functionality. Opening a     maliciously crafted RTF document can cause an     out-of-bounds memory read into previously allocated heap     memory, which may lead to the execution of arbitrary     code.

  - CVE-2010-3452     Dan Rosenberg discovered a vulnerability in the RTF file     parser which can be leveraged by attackers to achieve     arbitrary code execution by convincing a victim to open     a maliciously crafted RTF file.

  - CVE-2010-3453     As part of his work with Virtual Security Research, Dan     Rosenberg discovered a vulnerability in the     WW8ListManager::WW8ListManager() function of     OpenOffice.org that allows a maliciously crafted file to     cause the execution of arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2010-3454     As part of his work with Virtual Security Research, Dan     Rosenberg discovered a vulnerability in the     WW8DopTypography::ReadFromMem() function in     OpenOffice.org that may be exploited by a maliciously     crafted file which allows an attacker to control program     flow and potentially execute arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2010-3689     Dmitri Gribenko discovered that the soffice script does     not treat an empty LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable like an     unset one, which may lead to the execution of arbitrary     code.

  - CVE-2010-4253     A heap based buffer overflow has been discovered with     unknown impact.

  - CVE-2010-4643     A vulnerability has been discovered in the way     OpenOffice.org handles TGA graphics which can be tricked     by a specially crafted TGA file that could cause the     program to crash due to a heap-based buffer overflow     with unknown impact.
