The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200812-13 (OpenOffice.org: Multiple vulnerabilities)
Two heap-based buffer overflows when processing WMF files (CVE-2008-2237) and EMF files (CVE-2008-2238) were discovered. Dmitry E. Oboukhov also reported an insecure temporary file usage within the senddoc script (CVE-2008-4937).
Impact :
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted document, resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code. A local attacker could perform symlink attacks to overwrite arbitrary files on the system. Both cases happen with the privileges of the user running the application.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time.
