3. Description:
OpenOffice.org is an office productivity suite that includes desktop
applications such as a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation manager,
formula editor, and drawing program.
Sean Larsson found a heap overflow flaw in the OpenOffice memory allocator.
If a carefully crafted file was opened by a victim, an attacker could use
the flaw to crash OpenOffice.org or, possibly, execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2008-2152)
It was discovered that certain libraries in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3
and 4 openoffice.org packages had an insecure relative RPATH (runtime
library search path) set in the ELF (Executable and Linking Format) header.
A local user able to convince another user to run OpenOffice in an
attacker-controlled directory, could run arbitrary code with the privileges
of the victim. (CVE-2008-2366)
All users of openoffice.org are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which contain backported fixes which correct these issues.
