Summary

The remote host is missing an update to openoffice.org announced via advisory DSA 1104-1. Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in OpenOffice.org, a free office suite. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project identifies the following problems: CVE-2006-2198 It turned out to be possible to embed arbitrary BASIC macros in documents in a way that OpenOffice.org does not see them but executes them anyway without any user interaction. CVE-2006-2199 It is possible to evade the Java sandbox with specially crafted Java applets. CVE-2006-3117 Loading malformed XML documents can cause buffer overflows and cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. This update has the Mozilla component disabled, so that the Mozilla/LDAP adressbook feature won't work anymore. It didn't work on anything else than i386 on sarge either. The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain OpenOffice.org packages.

Solution

Solution

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 1.1.3-9sarge2. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 2.0.3-1. We recommend that you upgrade your OpenOffice.org packages. https://secure1.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=DSA%201104-1
