Apache OpenOffice < 4.1.10 Arbitrary Code Execution

high Nessus Plugin ID 154167

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Windows host has an application installed that is affected by an arbitrary code execution vulnerability.

Description

The version of Apache OpenOffice installed on the remote host is a version prior to 4.1.10. It is, therefore, affected by an arbitrary code execution vulnerability. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to download and open a specially crafted document which contains hyperlinks to local executables which are executed unconditionally or on a click by the victim.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version

Solution

Upgrade to Apache OpenOffice version 4.1.10 or later.
