Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions OpenOffice.org versions prior to 2.4.2

Description The issue is related to a heap-based buffer overflow that can be triggered by a crafted WMF file associated with a StarOffice/StarSuite document. This can allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. The vulnerability is also described as allowing an attacker to access confidential data, compromise its integrity, and cause a denial of service.
