Synopsis

Description

 AD-LAB has discovered a heap overflow in the 'StgCompObjStream::Load()' function when processing DOC documents.
 Impact :

 An attacker could design a malicious DOC document containing a specially crafted header which, when processed by OpenOffice.Org, would result in the execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the user running the application.
 Workaround :

 There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

All OpenOffice.Org users should upgrade to the latest version:
 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=app-office/openoffice-1.1.4-r1' All OpenOffice.Org binary users should upgrade to the latest version:
 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=app-office/openoffice-bin-1.1.4-r1' All OpenOffice.Org Ximian users should upgrade to the latest version:
 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose app-office/openoffice-ximian Note to PPC users: There is no stable OpenOffice.Org fixed version for the PPC architecture. Affected users should switch to the latest OpenOffice.Org Ximian version.
