  <description>
    <p>
    John Heasman of NGSSoftware has discovered integer overflows in the
    EMR_POLYPOLYGON and EMR_POLYPOLYGON16 processing and an error within
    the handling of META_ESCAPE records.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to cause heap overflows
    and potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
    running OpenOffice.org by enticing the user to open a document
    containing a malicious WMF/EMF file.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround known at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All OpenOffice.org binary users should update to version 2.1.0 or
    later:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-office/openoffice-bin-2.1.0&quot;</code>
    <p>
    All OpenOffice.org users should update to version 2.0.4 or later:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-office/openoffice-2.0.4&quot;</code>
