    <p>
    John Heasman of NGSSoftware has discovered a stack-based buffer
    overflow in the StarCalc parser and an input validation error when
    processing metacharacters in a link. Also OpenOffice.Org includes code
    from libwpd making it vulnerable to heap-based overflows when
    converting WordPerfect document tables (GLSA 200704-07).
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted
    document, possibly leading to execution of arbitrary code with the
    rights of the user running OpenOffice.org.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All OpenOffice.org users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-office/openoffice-2.1.0-r1&quot;</code>
    <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-2.2.0&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
