OpenOffice.org is an office productivity suite that includes desktop
applications, such as a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation manager,
formula editor, and a drawing program.
An integer underflow flaw and a boundary error flaw, both possibly leading
to a heap-based buffer overflow, were found in the way OpenOffice.org
parses certain records in Microsoft Word documents. An attacker could
create a specially-crafted Microsoft Word document, which once opened by an
unsuspecting user, could cause OpenOffice.org to crash or, potentially,
execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running
OpenOffice.org. (CVE-2009-0200, CVE-2009-0201)
All users of OpenOffice.org are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. All
running instances of OpenOffice.org applications must be restarted for
this update to take effect.
