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.

Timothy D. Morgan discovered that Raptor would unconditionally load XML external entities. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted document in an application linked against Raptor, an attacker could possibly obtain access to arbitrary files on the user's system or potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program.
