OpenOffice hit by 'highly critical' vulnerability

Published: 05 Jan 2007 12:22 GMT

The vulnerability concerns the way OpenOffice handles .wmf images.
Exploitation of the vulnerability, which affects all but the newest
version of OpenOffice, can enable a hacker to perform a buffer overflow
and then introduce malicious code to the victim's PC.
