Fedora: openoffice Multiple format string vulnerabilities
Summary
OpenOffice.org is an Open Source, community-developed, multi-platform
office productivity suite. It includes the key desktop applications,
such as a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation manager, formula
editor and drawing program, with a user interface and feature set
similar to other office suites. Sophisticated and flexible,
OpenOffice.org also works transparently with a variety of file
formats, including Microsoft Office.
Usage: Simply type "ooffice" to run OpenOffice.org or select the
requested component (Writer, Calc, Draw, Impress, etc.) from your
desktop menu. The ooffice wrapper script will install a few files in
the user's home, if necessary.
Note that this release does not support GPC polygon clipping, but
instead uses libart to do the same thing.
The OpenOffice.org team hopes you enjoy working with OpenOffice.org!
Update Information:
This update fixes a security vulnerability in the neon
included in OpenOffice.org (CAN-2004-0179). It also
explicitly adds a dependency on Mozilla which has
always existed. This dependency will be removed again
in the next update since it appears to cause problems
however.
