Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to openoffice.org announced via advisory MDVSA-2008:137. Integer overflow in the rtl_allocateMemory function in sal/rtl/source/alloc_global.c in OpenOffice.org (OOo) 2.0 through 2.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted file that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. (CVE-2008-2152) Also, according to bug #38874 decimal numbers on Hebrew documents would appear as Arabic characters. Another issue (#39799) is with measurements units configuration to format paragraphs on the menu: (Tools -> Options -> OpenOffice.org Writer -> General). Even setting to centimeters on (Indent & Spacing) option it shows as characters (ch) on (Indents & Spacing) configuration on the menu: (Format -> Paragraph -> Indents & Spacing). Moreover, a document holding Notes edited on Microsoft Office would not show when opened with OpenOffice. These and a number of other OpenOffice.org issues were fixed by the new version provided in this update. Affected: 2008.1 Solution: To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you. https://secure1.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDVSA-2008:137 Risk factor : Critical CVSS Score: 9.3
