Hi :)
Two security holes have been discovered in the way OpenOffice deals with Microsoft's media file formats. emf, and. wmf, according to security firm CSIS. All versions prior to OpenOffice 2.4.2 are affected by the vulnerability, which is based on heap-overflows.
The vulnerability makes it possible to run code on a client with the same rights as the user. The vulnerability can be triggered by sending the user on the client to a specific design file, or by enticing users to click on a link, for example, an e-mail.
CSIS recommends that Open Office users upgrade as soon as possible. The two updated versions of OpenOffice, where the gaps are closed, is 2.4.2 and the new 3.0.
