3. Description:

OpenOffice.org is an office productivity suite that includes desktop
applications such as a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation manager,
formula editor, and drawing program.

A heap overflow flaw was found in the EMF parser. An attacker could create
a carefully crafted EMF file that could cause OpenOffice.org to crash or
possibly execute arbitrary code if the malicious EMF image was added to a
document or if a document containing the malicious EMF file was opened by a
victim. (CVE-2007-5746)

A heap overflow flaw was found in the OLE Structured Storage file parser.
(OLE Structured Storage is a format used by Microsoft Office documents.) An
attacker could create a carefully crafted OLE file that could cause
OpenOffice.org to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code if the file was
opened by a victim. (CVE-2008-0320)

All users of OpenOffice.org are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which contain backported fixes to correct these issues.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
