OpenOffice.org is an office productivity suite that includes desktop
applications such as a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation manager,
formula editor, and drawing program.
A heap overflow flaw was found in the TIFF parser. An attacker could
create a carefully crafted document containing a malicious TIFF file that
could cause OpenOffice.org to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code if
opened by a victim. (CVE-2007-2834)
All users of OpenOffice.org are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which contain a backported fix to correct this issue.
