    <p>
    OpenOffice.org is an open source office productivity suite, including
    word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, drawing, data charting,
    formula editing, and file conversion facilities.
    </p>

    restrictions to SQL statements.

  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted
    document, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary Java
    code with the privileges of the user running OpenOffice.org.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All OpenOffice.org users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-office/openoffice-2.3.1"</code>
    <p>
    All OpenOffice.org binary users should upgrade to the latest version:

    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-office/openoffice-bin-2.3.1"</code>
