A Dutch web site reports today that according to Red Hat there have been
found several buffer overflow bugs in OpenOffice.org, allowing hackers to
execute malicious code if the user opens a manipulated .WMF file. Users
are recommended to download an update immediately from the Red Hat
Network.
It is not clear from the article whether this affects only the Red Hat
bundled version of OpenOffice.org, or OpenOffice.org in general.
Kind regards, Joost
