Ubuntu 6.06 LTS / 6.10 / 7.04 : openoffice.org(2)/-amd64 vulnerability (USN-482-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 28083

Synopsis

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

Description

John Heasman discovered that OpenOffice did not correctly validate the sizes of tags in RTF documents. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted document, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with user privileges.

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
