RedHat: Important: openoffice.org security update
LinuxSecurity.com: Updated openoffice.org packages that correct security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, 4, and 5. SureRun Security Team discovered an integer overflow flaw leading to a heap buffer overflow in the Windows Metafile (WMF) image format parser. An attacker could create a carefully crafted document containing a malicious WMF file that could cause OpenOffice.org to crash, or, possibly, execute arbitrary code if opened by a victim. This update has been rated as having important security impact by the RedHat Security Response Team.
