Loading malformed XML documents can cause buffer overflows in
OpenOffice.org, a free office suite, and cause a denial of service or
execute arbitrary code.  It turned out that the correction in DSA
1104-1 was not sufficient, hence, another update. For completeness
please find the original advisory text below:
