Detail

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 5.04 Ubuntu 6.06 LTS

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 5.04:
openoffice.org-bin 1.1.3-8ubuntu2.4

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
openoffice.org-base 2.0.2-2ubuntu12.1
openoffice.org-common 2.0.2-2ubuntu12.1
openoffice.org-core 2.0.2-2ubuntu12.1

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes.

Ubuntu 5.10 is also affected by these flaws. Updated packages will be provided shortly.

Details follow:

It was possible to embed Basic macros in documents in a way that OpenOffice.org would not ask for confirmation about executing them. By tricking a user into opening a malicious document, this could be exploited to run arbitrary Basic code (including local file access and modification) with the user's privileges. (CVE-2006-2198)

A flaw was discovered in the Java sandbox which allowed Java applets to break out of the sandbox and execute code without restrictions. By tricking a user into opening a malicious document, this could be exploited to run arbitrary code with the user's privileges. This update disables Java applets for OpenOffice.org, since it is not generally possible to guarantee the sandbox restrictions. (CVE-2006-2199)

A buffer overflow has been found in the XML parser. By tricking a user into opening a specially crafted XML file with OpenOffice.org, this could be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges. (CVE-2006-3117)
