Ubuntu security bulletins (USN-524-1 - OpenOffice vulnerabilities)

USN-524-1: OpenOffice vulnerabilities
Threat-level (*): Moderate

Affected Ubuntu versions:
  • Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
  • Ubuntu 6.10
  • Ubuntu 7.04
  • (and the corresponding versions of Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu)
It's recommended that you perform (at least) a standard system upgrade to avoid possible:
  • Remote attacks based on an integer overflow of the OpenOffice suite, with the following consequences:
    • arbitrary code execution with the user privileges

NOTE: OpenOffice needs to be restarted for the changes to be applied.
