word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, drawing, data charting,
formula editing, and file conversion facilities.

Description
==========
The HSQLDB engine, as used in Openoffice.org, does not properly enforce
restrictions to SQL statements.

document, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary Java
code with the privileges of the user running OpenOffice.org.

Workaround
=========

Resolution
=========
All OpenOffice.org users should upgrade to the latest version:

 # emerge --sync
 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-office/openoffice-2.3.1"

 # emerge --sync
 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-office/openoffice-bin-2.3.1"
