Description Executioner 2007-01-04 10:30:06 UTC

A vulnerability has been reported in OpenOffice, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to integer overflows within the processor for WMF/EMF files. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow by e.g. tricking a user into opening a specially crafted WMF/EMF file.

Successful exploitation may allow the execution of arbitrary code.
