Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.52550
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2005:082 (OpenOffice.org)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to OpenOffice.org
announced via advisory MDKSA-2005:082.

AD-LAB discovered a heap overflow in the StgCompObjStream::Load()
function when OpenOffice.org processes DOC documents. If an attacker
created a malicious DOC document that contained a specially crafted
header, it could execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user
running OpenOffice.org.

The updated packages have been patched to prevent this problem.

Affected versions: 10.1, 10.2, Corporate 3.0

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
