Description: | Description: The remote host is missing an update to openoffice.org announced via advisory MDVSA-2010:056.
This update provides the OpenOffice.org 3.0 major version and holds the security fixes for the following issues:
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).
An 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).
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).
Additional packages are also being provided due to dependencies.
Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0 customers.
Affected: 2008.0
Solution: To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
