| <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>. |
