Foresight: openoffice.org Print E-mail
User Rating:      How can I rate this item?
Posted by Bill Keys   
Previous versions of openoffice.org were vulnerable to multiple issues which could be exploited to execute arbitrary code at the permission level of the user running openoffice (usually non-root). Attack vectors include coercing a user into opening a URL which contains an exploit, coercing the user into opening a vulnerable WordPerfect file (via bundled libwpd), and coercing a user into opening a vulnerable StarCalc document.
