NASL family Red Hat Local Security Checks NASL id REDHAT-RHSA-2004-160.NASL description Updated OpenOffice packages that fix a vulnerability in neon exploitable by a malicious DAV server are now available. OpenOffice.org is an Open Source, community-developed, multi-platform office productivity suite. OpenOffice internally uses inbuilt code from neon, an HTTP and WebDAV client library. Versions of the neon client library up to and including 0.24.4 have been found to contain a number of format string bugs. An attacker could create a malicious WebDAV server in such a way as to allow arbitrary code execution on the client should a user connect to it using OpenOffice. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2004-0179 to this issue. Users of OpenOffice are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a patch correcting this issue. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 12487 published 2004-07-06 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2004-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/12487 title RHEL 3 : openoffice.org (RHSA-2004:160) NASL family Gentoo Local Security Checks NASL id GENTOO_GLSA-200404-14.NASL description The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200404-14 (Multiple format string vulnerabilities in cadaver) Cadaver code includes the neon library, which in versions 0.24.4 and previous is vulnerable to multiple format string attacks. The latest version of cadaver uses version 0.24.5 of the neon library, which makes it immune to this vulnerability. Impact : When using cadaver to connect to an untrusted WebDAV server, this vulnerability can allow a malicious remote server to execute arbitrary code on the client with the rights of the user using cadaver. Workaround : A workaround is not currently known for this issue. All users are advised to upgrade to the latest version of the affected package. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 14479 published 2004-08-30 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2004-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/14479 title GLSA-200404-14 : Multiple format string vulnerabilities in cadaver NASL family Gentoo Local Security Checks NASL id GENTOO_GLSA-200405-01.NASL description The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200405-01 (Multiple format string vulnerabilities in neon 0.24.4 and earlier) There are multiple format string vulnerabilities in libneon which may allow a malicious WebDAV server to execute arbitrary code under the context of the process using libneon. Impact : An attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code under the context of the process using libneon. Workaround : A workaround is not currently known for this issue.

This library is vulnerable to several format string attacks. Impact : If you use the WebDAV publication and connect to a malicious WebDAV server, this server can exploit these vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user running OpenOffice.org. Workaround : As a workaround, you should not use the WebDAV publication facilities. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 14490 published 2004-08-30 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2004-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/14490 title GLSA-200405-04 : OpenOffice.org vulnerability when using DAV servers NASL family Mandriva Local Security Checks NASL id MANDRAKE_MDKSA-2004-032.NASL description A number of various format string vulnerabilities were discovered in the error output handling of Neon, the HTTP and WebDAV client library, by Thomas Wana.
