<description>
<p>
Internal security audits by OpenOffice.org have discovered three
security vulnerabilities related to Java applets, macros and the XML
file format parser.
</p>
<ul><li>Specially crafted Java applets can
break through the "sandbox".</li>
<li>Specially crafted macros make it
possible to inject BASIC code into documents which is executed when the
document is loaded.</li>
<li>Loading a malformed XML file can cause a
buffer overflow.</li>
</ul>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
An attacker might exploit these vulnerabilities to escape the Java
sandbox, execute arbitrary code or BASIC code with the permissions of
the user running OpenOffice.org.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
Disabling Java applets will protect against the vulnerability in the
handling of Java applets. There are no workarounds for the macro and
file format vulnerabilities.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All OpenOffice.org users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-office/openoffice-2.0.3"</code>
</resolution>
