+ <p>
+ <strong>Windows Installer Execution of Arbitrary Code with
+ Elevated Privileges
+ </strong>
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ <strong>Version 1.0</strong>
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Announced October 11, 2016
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ <strong>Description</strong>
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ The Apache OpenOffice installer for Winodws contained a defective
+ operation that allows execution of arbitrary code with elevated
+ privileges.
+ </p>
+ <p>The location in which the installer is run may have been
+ previously poisoned by a file that impersonates a dynamic-link
+ library that the installer depends upon. The counterfeit is
+ operated instead because of a search path defect in the
+ installer. The counterfeit will be operated under the
+ administrative privileges of the OpenOffice installer,
+ compromising the users's PC.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ <strong>Severity: Medium</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 4.1.2 and older are affected.<br />
+ OpenOffice.org versions are also affected.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ <strong>Mitigation</strong>
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Install Apache OpenOffice 4.1.3 for the latest maintenance and
+ cumulative security fixes. Use the Apache OpenOffice
+ <a href="https://www.openoffice.org/download/";>download page</a>.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ <strong>Defenses and Work-Arounds</strong>
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ If you are unable to update to 4.1.3, there are other precautions
+ that can be taken. These precausions are also recommended as
protection against other software that may have the vulnerability.
+ <br /><br />
+ When executing .exe installers, ensure that the installer is in a
file folder that has no other files but the installer .exe file.
+ <br /><br />
+ If an installer proposes a folder to extract the setup files
+ into before the actual install, choose the name of a folder that is
not in use. Delete such a folder of setup files after the installation
completes successfully. To reinstall without
+ downloading again, preserve the installer .exe on private
+ removable storage.
+ </p>
+
