   Bug ID: 6657640

   Product
   StarOffice 8, StarSuite 8

   Date of Resolved Release: 25-Apr-2008

   SA Document Body
   Security Vulnerability for ODF Text Documents Containing XForms in
   StarOffice 8/StarSuite 8

1. Impact

   A security vulnerability with the way StarOffice/StarSuite 8 processes
   ODF text documents with XForms, using the 3rd party library ICU, may
   allow a remote unprivileged user who provides a StarOffice/StarSuite
   document that is opened by a local user to execute arbitrary commands
   on the system with the privileges of the user running
   StarOffice/StarSuite, or to cause a Denial Of Service (DoS) to the
   application (excessive memory consumption or application crash).
   This issue is described in the following documents:
