Description Andrej Nemec 2017-10-31 04:20:30 EDT
An exploitable out of bound write vulnerability exists in the PPTStyleSheet::PPTStyleSheet functionality of Apache OpenOffice. A specially crafted PPT file can cause an out of bound write resulting in arbitrary code execution. An attacker can send/provide a malicious PPT file to trigger this vulnerability.

Comment 1 Andrej Nemec 2017-10-31 04:23:06 EDT
Created libreoffice tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1507808]
Comment 2 David Tardon 2017-10-31 04:52:23 EDT
At a glance, this should be addressed by https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/gitweb?p=core.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=6c401a7bdc4e0f5340203b9885e368cb96986aa1 . Is it possible to get a reproducer?
Comment 3 David Tardon 2017-10-31 05:08:24 EDT
The actual commit fixing this is https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=334dba623dfb0c4fb2b5292c2d03741b7b33aef1 -> no current Fedora is vulnerable.
Comment 4 Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2017-10-31 05:23:45 EDT
As per LibreOffice upstream advisory mentioned in comment 0, this issue is fixed in version 5.0.2, hence only the version shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 is vulnerable.
