high Nessus Plugin ID 25660

Synopsis

The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200707-02 (OpenOffice.org: Two buffer overflows)

John Heasman of NGSSoftware has discovered a heap-based buffer overflow when parsing the 'prdata' tag in RTF files where the first token is smaller than the second one (CVE-2007-0245). Additionally, the OpenOffice binary program is shipped with a version of FreeType that contains an integer signedness error in the n_points variable in file truetype/ttgload.c, which was covered by GLSA 200705-22 (CVE-2007-2754).
Impact :

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted document, possibly leading to execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the user running OpenOffice.org.
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-2.2.1' All OpenOffice.org binary users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=app-office/openoffice-bin-2.2.1'
