3. Description:

 

OpenOffice.org is an office productivity suite that includes desktop

applications such as a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation manager,

formula editor, and drawing program.

 

A heap overflow flaw was found in the EMF parser. An attacker could create

a carefully crafted EMF file that could cause OpenOffice.org to crash or

possibly execute arbitrary code if the malicious EMF image was added to a

document or if a document containing the malicious EMF file was opened by a

victim. (CVE-2007-5746)

 

A heap overflow flaw was found in the OLE Structured Storage file parser.

(OLE Structured Storage is a format used by Microsoft Office documents.) An

attacker could create a carefully crafted OLE file that could cause

OpenOffice.org to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code if the file was

opened by a victim. (CVE-2008-0320)

 

All users of OpenOffice.org are advised to upgrade to these updated

packages, which contain backported fixes to correct these issues.

 

4. Solution:

 

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released

errata relevant to your system have been applied.
