hsqldb, openoffice.org security update

CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2007:1048

OpenOffice.org is an office productivity suite.
HSQLDB is a Java relational database engine used by OpenOffice.org Base.

It was discovered that HSQLDB could allow the execution of arbitrary public
static Java methods. A carefully crafted odb file opened in OpenOffice.org
Base could execute arbitrary commands with the permissions of the user
running OpenOffice.org. (CVE-2007-4575)

It was discovered that HSQLDB did not have a password set on the ‘sa’ user.
If HSQLDB has been configured as a service, a remote attacker who could
connect to the HSQLDB port (tcp 9001) could execute arbitrary SQL commands.
(CVE-2003-0845)

Note that in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, HSQLDB is not enabled as a service
by default, and needs manual configuration in order to work as a service.

Users of OpenOffice.org or HSQLDB should update to these errata packages
which contain backported patches to correct these issues.
