Category: | CentOS Local Security Checks |
Title: | CentOS Update for libwpd CESA-2012:1043 centos5 |
Summary: | The remote host is missing an update for the 'libwpd'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. |
Description: | Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'libwpd' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. Vulnerability Insight: libwpd is a library for reading and converting Corel WordPerfect Office documents. A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way libwpd processed certain Corel WordPerfect Office documents (.wpd files). An attacker could provide a specially-crafted .wpd file that, when opened in an application linked against libwpd, such as OpenOffice.org, would cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. (CVE-2012-2149) All libwpd users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. All running applications that are linked against libwpd must be restarted for this update to take effect. Affected Software/OS: libwpd on CentOS 5 Solution: Please install the updated packages. CVSS Score: 7.5 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P |
