Language:

Synopsis

The remote CentOS host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

Updated openoffice.org packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section.

[Updated 16 June 2010] The packages list in this erratum has been updated to include missing packages for the 'Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server - Optional Desktop Productivity Applications' channel. No changes have been made to the original packages.

OpenOffice.org is an office productivity suite that includes desktop applications, such as a word processor, spreadsheet application, presentation manager, formula editor, and a drawing program.

A flaw was found in the way OpenOffice.org enforced a macro security setting for macros, written in the Python scripting language, that were embedded in OpenOffice.org documents. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted OpenOffice.org document and previewed the macro directory structure, it could lead to Python macro execution even if macro execution was disabled. (CVE-2010-0395)

All users of OpenOffice.org are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, this erratum provides updated openoffice.org2 packages. For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, this erratum provides updated openoffice.org packages. All running instances of OpenOffice.org applications must be restarted for this update to take effect.

Solution

Update the affected openoffice.org packages.
