Description Vincent Danen 2010-02-16 16:54:11 EST

Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2010-0136 to
the following vulnerability:

OpenOffice.org (OOo) 2.0.4, 2.4.1, and 3.1.1 does not properly enforce
Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macro security settings, which
allows remote attackers to run arbitrary macros via a crafted
document.

Comment 5 Caolan McNamara 2010-02-17 03:47:42 EST

This should be a ooo-build only problem in the 2.X.Y series. We don't use ooo-build for >= 1.X.Y so we shouldn't be affected by this fairly recent not-upstreamed-yet implementation-gone-awry. Sample document above can be used to verify that. i.e. loading it won't flip to sheet overview, etc. So this can be closed out in that case.

Comment 7 Tomas Hoger 2010-03-05 05:53:56 EST

This flaw exists in the implementation of VBA macros support for OpenOffice.org.  This support is not (yet) part of upstream OpenOffice.org source, but only part of ooo-build / GO-OO patch set, which is not used in Red Hat OpenOffice.org packages version 2 and later.
