+ Two heap-based buffer overflows when processing WMF files
+ (CVE-2008-2237) and EMF files (CVE-2008-2238) were discovered. Dmitry
+ E. Oboukhov also reported an insecure temporary file usage within the
+ senddoc script (CVE-2008-4937).

+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted
+ document, resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code. A local
+ attacker could perform symlink attacks to overwrite arbitrary files on
+ the system. Both cases happen with the privileges of the user running
+ the application.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All OpenOffice.org users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-office/openoffice-3.0.0"</code>
+ <p>
+ All OpenOffice.org binary users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-office/openoffice-bin-3.0.0"</code>
