DESCRIPTION: A vulnerability has been reported in OpenOffice, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to integer overflows within the processor for WMF/EMF files. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow by e.g. tricking a user into opening a specially crafted WMF/EMF file. Successful exploitation may allow the execution of arbitrary code.
SOLUTION:
Apply fixes or update to version 2.1.
