John Heasman discovered a heap overflow in the routines of OpenOffice.org
that parse RTF files. A specially crafted RTF file could cause the
filter to overwrite data on the heap, which may lead to the execution
of arbitrary code.
For the old stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.1.3-9sarge7.
For the stable distribution (etch) this problem has been fixed in
version 2.0.4.dfsg.2-7etch1.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 2.2.1~rc1-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your openoffice.org packages.
