Debian DSA-2055-1 : openoffice.org - macro execution

high Nessus Plugin ID 46830

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

It was discovered that OpenOffice.org, a full-featured office productivity suite that provides a near drop-in replacement for Microsoft(r) Office, is not properly handling python macros embedded in an office document. This allows an attacker to perform user-assisted execution of arbitrary code in certain use cases of the python macro viewer component.

Solution

Upgrade the openoffice.org packages.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 1:2.4.1+dfsg-1+lenny7.
