Synopsis

The remote CentOS host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

Updated openoffice.org 1.x packages to correct multiple security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.

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

OpenOffice.org is an office productivity suite that includes desktop applications such as a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation manager, formula editor, and drawing program.

A heap overflow flaw was found in the EMF parser. An attacker could create a carefully crafted EMF file that could cause OpenOffice.org to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code if the malicious EMF image was added to a document or if a document containing the malicious EMF file was opened by a victim. (CVE-2007-5746)

A heap overflow flaw was found in the OLE Structured Storage file parser. (OLE Structured Storage is a format used by Microsoft Office documents.) An attacker could create a carefully crafted OLE file that could cause OpenOffice.org to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code if the file was opened by a victim. (CVE-2008-0320)

All users of OpenOffice.org are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported fixes to correct these issues.

Solution

Update the affected openoffice.org packages.

How to Run

Here is how to run the CentOS 3 / 4 : openoffice.org (CESA-2008:0176) as a standalone plugin via the Nessus web user interface (https://localhost:8834/):

Click to start a New Scan.
Select Advanced Scan.
Navigate to the Plugins tab.
On the top right corner click to Disable All plugins.
On the left side table select CentOS Local Security Checks plugin family.
On the right side table select CentOS 3 / 4 : openoffice.org (CESA-2008:0176) plugin ID 31997.
Specify the target on the Settings tab and click to Save the scan.
Run the scan.

Here are a few examples of how to run the plugin in the command line. Note that the examples below demonstrate the usage on the Linux / Unix platform.

Basic usage:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl centos_RHSA-2008-0176.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with audit trail message on the console:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -a centos_RHSA-2008-0176.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with trace script execution written to the console (useful for debugging):

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -T - centos_RHSA-2008-0176.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with using a state file for the target and updating it (useful for running multiple plugins on the target):

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -K /tmp/state centos_RHSA-2008-0176.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Go back to menu.
