CVE-2007-2834: Integer overflow in the TIFF parser in OpenOffice.org (OOo) before 2.3; and Sun StarOffice 6, 7, and 8 Offi...

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old file-processing flaw in OpenOffice.org and Sun StarOffice. A malicious TIFF image could corrupt memory and potentially run attacker-controlled code when opened by a vulnerable application. Business risk is mainly legacy systems, unsupported desktops, or document-processing services that still use these 2007-era office suites. Exposure is most likely where legacy OpenOffice.org before 2.3, StarOffice 6/7/8, or old distribution packages remain installed. Desktops opening untrusted TIFF files and automated document conversion paths using those applications should be prioritized for review. Prioritize remediation if any legacy office suite or conversion service remains in production. The vulnerability is old, but arbitrary code execution through a common image format can still matter in environments with unsupported software. Mitigation focus: Upgrade OpenOffice.org to 2.3 or later where applicable.; Apply relevant Sun, Ubuntu, Red Hat, SUSE, Gentoo, Mandriva, or distro vendor updates.; Remove unsupported StarOffice/StarSuite installations where business use is no longer required..
