GOffice: Multiple vulnerabilities Multiple vulnerabilities in GOffice could result in the execution of arbitrary code. goffice January 30, 2008 January 30, 2008: 01 198385 remote 0.6.1 0.4.3 0.6.1

GOffice is a library of document-centric objects and utilities based on GTK.

GOffice includes a copy of PCRE which is vulnerable to multiple buffer overflows and memory corruptions vulnerabilities (GLSA 200711-30).

An attacker could entice a user to open specially crafted documents with GOffice, which could possibly lead to the execution of arbitrary code, a Denial of Service or the disclosure of sensitive information.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All GOffice 0.4.x users should upgrade to the latest version:


    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=x11-libs/goffice-0.4.3"

All GOffice 0.6.x users should upgrade to the latest version:


    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=x11-libs/goffice-0.6.1"
