+ <p style="text-align:center; font-size:largest"><strong>CVE-2015-5212:
+ ODF PRINTER SETTINGS VULNERABILITY</strong></p>
+
+ <p style="text-align:center; font-size:larger"><strong>Fixed in Apache
OpenOffice 4.1.2</strong></p>
+
+
+ <p>
+ <strong>Version 1.0</strong>
+ <br />
+ Announced November 4, 2015</p>
+
+ <p>
+ A crafted ODF document can be used to create a buffer that is
+ too small for the amount of data loaded into it, allowing an
+ attacker to cause denial of service (memory corruption and
+ application crash) and possible execution of arbitrary code.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ <strong>Severity: Important</strong>
+ </p>
+ <p>There are no known exploits of this vulnerabilty.<br />
+ A proof-of-concept demonstration exists.</p>
+ <p>
+ <strong>Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation</strong>
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ <strong>Versions Affected</strong></p>
+
+ <p>All Apache OpenOffice versions 4.1.1 and older are affected.<br />
+ OpenOffice.org versions are also affected.</p>
+
+ <p>
+ <strong>Mitigation</strong>
+ </p>
+ <p>Apache OpenOffice users are urged to download and install
+ Apache OpenOffice version 4.1.2 or later. Use of in-document
+ control of printer settings is disabled in 4.1.2.</p>
+ <p>
+
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <strong>Precautions</strong>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Users who do not upgrade to Apache OpenOffice 4.1.2
+ can disable the vulnerability directly by declining to use printer
+ settings provided as part of ODF Documents:</p>
+
+ <ol><li>In Apache OpenOffice, select the Tools menu Options entry.</li>
+ <li>On the Options Load/Save item's General sub-item, remove any
+ check for "Load printer settings with the document".</li>
+ <li>Click "OK".</li>
+ <li>This setting will apply to all documents loaded thereafter.</li>
+ </ol>
+
+
+ <p>
