Debian DSA-1375-1 : openoffice.org - buffer overflow

high Nessus Plugin ID 26078

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

A heap overflow vulnerability has been discovered in the TIFF parsing code of the OpenOffice.org suite. The parser uses untrusted values from the TIFF file to calculate the number of bytes of memory to allocate. A specially crafted TIFF image could trigger an integer overflow and subsequently a buffer overflow that could cause the execution of arbitrary code.

Solution

Upgrade the openoffice.org packages.

For the old stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 1.1.3-9sarge8.

For the stable distribution (etch) this problem has been fixed in version 2.0.4.dfsg.2-7etch2.
