Issue ID: 126281
Issue Type: TASK
Summary: Remove HWP (Hangul Word Processor) filter
Product: Writer
Version: 4.1.1
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: CONFIRMED
Severity: blocker
Priority: P3
Component: open-import
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
OpenOffice 4.1.1 contains a filter to import documents created with old
(pre-1997) versions of HWP, Hangul Word Processor, *.hwp files.
A security advisory was recently published for that filter/library:
http://www.openoffice.org/security/cves/CVE-2015-1774.html
Mailing list discussions did not show it's worth to investigate a fix, since
the filter can be removed with negligible impact on users.
So the filter should be removed, meaning that OpenOffice should no longer ship
with the library named "hwp.dll" or "libhwp.dylib" or "libhwp.so" according to
the platform.
