>Description:

WMS/EMF processing flaws were found in the openoffice.org 2.x:

>Fix:

Since 2.4.2 is in the tree, there is no point to upgrade any ports.
I believe that openoffice-2-RC and openoffice-2-devel are vulnerable
too, because vendor says about affected releases "All versions prior
to OpenOffice.org 2.4.2".

The following VuXML entry should be evaluated and added:
--- vuln.xml begins here ---
  <vuln vid="">
    <topic>openoffice -- arbitrary code execution by processing crafted EMF/WMF files</topic>
    <affects>

I hope that the version specification catches all openoffice 2.x
with x < 4.2 as well as -RC and -devel versions.
