Detail

Product: StarOffice 7, StarSuite 7, StarOffice 8, StarSuite 8

A security vulnerability with the way StarOffice/StarSuite 7 and 8 process OLE files may allow a remote unprivileged user who provides a StarOffice/StarSuite document that is opened by a local user to execute arbitrary commands on the system with the privileges of the user running StarOffice/StarSuite.

OLE is typically used with MS Office documents (these typically have names ending in 'doc', 'ppt', 'xls', etc.) but the issue might also occur with documents from StarOffice 5 and older versions (for example, with names ending in 'sdw', 'sdc', 'sdi', etc).

Sun acknowledges with thanks, an anonymous researcher working with the iDefense Vulnerability Contributor Program (VCP)?? at??http://labs.idefense.com/vcp/.

Title: DSA-1547 openoffice.org -- several vulnerabilities
Description: Several security related problems have been discovered in OpenOffice.org, the free office suite. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: Several bugs have been discovered in the way OpenOffice.org parses Quattro Pro files that may lead to a overflow in the heap potentially leading to the execution of arbitrary code. Specially crafted EMF files can trigger a buffer overflow in the heap that may lead to the execution of arbitrary code. A bug has been discovered in the processing of OLE files that can cause a buffer overflow in the heap potentially leading to the execution of arbitrary code. Recently reported problems in the ICU library are fixed in separate libicu packages with DSA 1511 against which OpenOffice.org is linked.
