paul Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 This updates provides a new OpenOffice.org version 3.1.1. It holds security and bug fixes described as follow: An integer underflow might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted records in the document table of a Word document, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2009-0200). A heap-based buffer overflow might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified records in a crafted Word document, related to table parsing (CVE-2009-0201). A heap-based buffer overflow allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted EMF file (CVE-2009-2139). Multiple heap-based buffer overflows allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted EMF+ file (CVE-2009-2140). 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). Further this update provides following bug fixes: OpenOffice.org is not properly configure to use the xdg-email functionality of the FreeDesktop standard (#52195). As the template desktop icons are not properly set, it's not presented under the context menu of applications like Dolphin (#56439). The Firefox plugin which enables viewing of OpenOffice documents inside the browser was not enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
