Descriptions
Redland Raptor (aka libraptor) before 2.0.7, as used by OpenOffice 3.3 and 3.4 Beta, LibreOffice before 3.4.6 and 3.5.x before 3.5.1, and other products, allows user-assisted remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a crafted XML external entity (XXE) declaration and reference in an RDF document.
Redland Raptor (también conocido como libraptor) anterior a v2.0.7, utilizado por OpenOffice v3.3 y v3.4 Beta, LibreOffice anterior a v3.4.6 y v3.5.x anterior a v3.5.1, y otros productos, permite a atacantes remotos asistidos por el usuario leer archivos arbitrarios a través de una declaración de entidad externa (XXE) en xml y con referencia a un documento RDF.
OpenOffice.org is an office productivity suite that includes desktop applications, such as a word processor, spreadsheet application, presentation manager, formula editor, and a drawing program. OpenOffice.org embeds a copy of Raptor, which provides parsers for Resource Description Framework files. An XML External Entity expansion flaw was found in the way Raptor processed RDF files. If OpenOffice.org were to open a specially-crafted file, it could possibly allow a remote attacker to obtain a copy of an arbitrary local file that the user running OpenOffice.org had access to. A bug in the way Raptor handled external entities could cause OpenOffice.org to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running OpenOffice.org.
