Publication date 21 September 2009

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Why this priority?

Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in cppcanvas/source/mtfrenderer/emfplus.cxx in Go-oo 2.x and 3.x before 3.0.1, previously named ooo-build and related to OpenOffice.org (OOo), allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted EMF+ file, a similar issue to CVE-2008-2238.

Patch is patches/emf+/emf+-cppcanvas-input-validation.diff, but emfplus.cxx is not included or compiled in Ubuntu 8.10 or 8.04. Debian includes the patch in 2.4.1+dfsg-1+lenny3, but does not apply it anywhere.
