+ <p style="text-align:center; font-size:largest">
+ <strong>Static Initialization Vector Allows to Recover Passwords for Web
Connections Without Knowing
+ the Master Password</strong>
+ </p>
+ <p style="text-align:center; font-size:larger">
+ <strong>Fixed in Apache OpenOffice 4.1.13</strong>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <strong>Description</strong>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Apache OpenOffice supports the storage of passwords for web connections
in the user's configuration
+ database. The stored passwords are encrypted with a single master key
provided by the user. A flaw in
+ OpenOffice existed where the required initialization vector for
encryption was always the same which
+ weakens the security of the encryption making them vulnerable if an
attacker has access to the user's
+ configuration data.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <strong>Severity: Moderate</strong>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ There are no known exploits of this vulnerability.
+ <br />
+ A proof-of-concept demonstration exists.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Thanks to the reporter for discovering this issue.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <strong>Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation</strong>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <strong>Versions Affected</strong>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ All Apache OpenOffice versions 4.1.12 and older are affected.
+ <br />
+ OpenOffice.org versions may also be affected.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <strong>Mitigation</strong>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Install Apache OpenOffice 4.1.13 for the latest maintenance and
cumulative security fixes.
+ Use the Apache OpenOffice <a
href="https://www.openoffice.org/download/";> download page</a>.
