Advisories MDVSA-2010:075: openoffice.org

[paul]

This updates provides a security update to the OpenOffice.org described

as follow:

 

OpenOffice's xmlsec uses a bundled Libtool which might load .la

file in the current working directory allowing local users to gain

privileges via a Trojan horse file. For enabling such vulnerability

xmlsec has to use --enable-crypto_dl building flag however it does

not, although the fix keeps protected against this threat whenever

that flag had been enabled (CVE-2009-3736).

 

Addittionaly this update provides following bug fixes:

 

OpenOffice.org is not properly configure to use the xdg-email

functionality of the FreeDesktop standard (#52195).

 

Template desktop icons are not properly set up then they are not

presented under the context menu of applications like Dolphin (#56439).

 

libia_ora-gnome is added as suggest as long as that package is needed

for a better look (#57385#c28).

 

It is enabled a fallback logic to properly select an OpenOffice.org

style whenever one is set up but that is not installed (#57530#c1,

#53284, #45133, #39043)

 

It is enabled the Firefox plugin for viewing OpenOffice.org documents

inside browser.
