The remote host is missing an update to openoffice.org announced via advisory DSA 2275-1.
Insight
Insight
Will Dormann and Jared Allar discovered that the Lotus Word Pro import filter of OpenOffice.org, a full-featured office productivity suite that provides a near drop-in replacement for Microsoft(R) Office, is not properly handling object ids in the .lwp file format. An attacker can exploit this with a specially crafted file and execute arbitrary code with the rights of the victim importing the file. The oldstable distribution (lenny) is not affected by this problem. For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 1:3.2.1-11+squeeze3. For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem will be fixed soon. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in libreoffice version 1:3.3.3-1.
Solution
Solution
We recommend that you upgrade your openoffice.org packages.
