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 EMF parser. An attacker could create

possibly execute arbitrary code if the malicious EMF image was added to a
document or if a document containing the malicious EMF file was opened by a
victim. (CVE-2007-5746)

All users of OpenOffice.org are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which contain backported fixes to correct these issues.
