The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory RHSA-2007:0033.
OpenOffice.org is an office productivity suite that includes desktop
applications such as a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation manager,
formula editor, and drawing program.
iDefense reported an integer overflow flaw in libwpd, a library used
internally to OpenOffice.org for handling Word Perfect documents. An
attacker could create a carefully crafted Word Perfect file that could
cause OpenOffice.org to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code if the
file was opened by a victim. (CVE-2007-1466)
John Heasman discovered a stack overflow in the StarCalc parser in
OpenOffice.org. An attacker could create a carefully crafted StarCalc file
that could cause OpenOffice.org to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code
if the file was opened by a victim. (CVE-2007-0238)
Flaws were discovered in the way OpenOffice.org handled hyperlinks. An
attacker could create an OpenOffice.org document which could run commands
if a victim opened the file and clicked on a malicious hyperlink.
(CVE-2007-0239)
All users of OpenOffice.org are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which contain backported fixes for these issues.
Red Hat would like to thank Fridrich Å trba for alerting us to the issue
