Please Install the Updated Packages.

OpenOffice.org is an office productivity suite that includes desktop applications such as a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation manager, formula editor, and drawing program. SureRun Security Team discovered an integer overflow flaw leading to a heap buffer overflow in the Windows Metafile (WMF) image format parser. An attacker could create a carefully crafted document containing a malicious WMF file that could cause OpenOffice.org to crash, or, possibly, execute arbitrary code if opened by a victim. (CVE-2008-2237) Multiple integer overflow flaws were found in the Enhanced Windows Metafile (EMF) parser. An attacker could create a carefully crafted document containing a malicious EMF file that could cause OpenOffice.org to crash, or, possibly, execute arbitrary code if opened by a victim. (CVE-2008-2238) All users of OpenOffice.org are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches that correct these issues.
