Description:
Previous versions of openoffice.org were vulnerable to multiple
issues which could be exploited to execute arbitrary code at the
permission level of the user running openoffice (usually non-root).
Attack vectors include coercing a user into opening a URL which contains
an exploit, coercing the user into opening a vulnerable WordPerfect file
(via bundled libwpd), and coercing a user into opening a vulnerable
StarCalc document.
