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.
