Detail

Problem Description:

Updated openoffice.org and hsqldb packages that fix security flaws are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 RHEL Optional Productivity Applications (v. 5 server) - i386, x86_64

3. Problem description:

OpenOffice.org is an office productivity suite. HSQLDB is a Java relational database engine used by OpenOffice.org Base.

It was discovered that HSQLDB could allow the execution of arbitrary public static Java methods. A carefully crafted odb file opened in OpenOffice.org Base could execute arbitrary commands with the permissions of the user running OpenOffice.org. (CVE-2007-4575)

It was discovered that HSQLDB did not have a password set on the 'sa' user.
If HSQLDB has been configured as a service, a remote attacker who could connect to the HSQLDB port (tcp 9001) could execute arbitrary SQL commands. (CVE-2003-0845)

Note that in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, HSQLDB is not enabled as a service by default, and needs manual configuration in order to work as a service.

Users of OpenOffice.org or HSQLDB should update to these errata packages which contain backported patches to correct these issues.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_58_10188

5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

299801 - CVE-2007-4575 OpenOffice.org-base allows Denial-of-Service and command injection 409891 - CVE-2003-0845 JBoss HSQLDB component remote command injection
