XML External Entity Expansion Vulnerability in the openoffice.org library

Post by Shane1145 »

openoffice.org is vulnerable to XML External Entity expansion. If OpenOffice.org were to open a specially-crafted file (such as an OpenDocument Format or OpenDocument Presentation file), it could possibly allow a remote attacker to obtain a copy of an arbitrary local file that the user running OpenOffice.org had access to. A bug in the way Raptor handled external entities could cause OpenOffice.org to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running OpenOffice.org.
