openoffice.org security update

CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2006:0573

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 Sun security specialist reported an issue with the application framework.
An attacker could put macros into document locations that could cause
OpenOffice.org to execute them when the file was opened by a victim.
(CVE-2006-2198)

A bug was found in the OpenOffice.org Java virtual machine implementation.
An attacker could write a carefully crafted Java applet that can break
through the “sandbox” and have full access to system resources with the
current user privileges. (CVE-2006-2199)

A buffer overflow bug was found in the OpenOffice.org file processor. An
attacker could create a carefully crafted XML file that could cause
OpenOffice.org to write data to an arbitrary location in memory when the
file was opened by a victim. (CVE-2006-3117)

All users of OpenOffice.org are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which contain backported fixes for these issues.
