    OpenOffice.org is an office productivity suite, including word
    processing, spreadsheet, presentation, data charting, formula editing
    and file conversion facilities. libcurl, which is included in
    OpenOffice.org, is a free and easy-to-use client-side library for
    transferring files with URL syntaxes, supporting numerous protocols.

  <description>
    <p>
    OpenOffice.org includes libcurl code. This libcurl code is
    vulnerable to a heap overflow when it tries to parse a URL that exceeds
    a 256-byte limit (GLSA 200512-09).
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    An attacker could entice a user to call a specially crafted URL
    with OpenOffice.org, potentially resulting in the execution of
    arbitrary code with the rights of the user running the application.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All OpenOffice.org binary users should upgrade to the latest
    version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-office/openoffice-bin-2.0.2&quot;</code>
