Debian Security Advisory DSA 1104-1 http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze June 30th, 2006 h
Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in OpenOffice.org, a free office suite

Summary


It turned out to be possible to embed arbitrary BASIC macros in
documents in a way that OpenOffice.org does not see them but
executes them anyway without any user interaction.

CVE-2006-2199

It is possible to evade the Java sandbox with specially crafted
Java applets.

CVE-2006-3117

Loading malformed XML documents can cause buffer overflows and
cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.

This update has the Mozilla component disabled, so that the
Mozilla/LDAP adressbook feature won't work anymore. It didn't work on
anything else than i386 on sarge either.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain OpenOffice.org
packages.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.1.3-9sarge2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 2.0.3-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your OpenOffice.org packages.
