    <p>
    John Heasman of NGSSoftware has discovered a heap-based buffer overflow
    when parsing the "prdata" tag in RTF files where the first token is
    smaller than the second one (CVE-2007-0245). Additionally, the
    OpenOffice binary program is shipped with a version of FreeType that
    contains an integer signedness error in the n_points variable in file
    truetype/ttgload.c, which was covered by GLSA 200705-22
    (CVE-2007-2754).
    </p>

  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted
    document, possibly leading to execution of arbitrary code with the
    rights 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-2.2.1"</code>
    <p>
    All OpenOffice.org binary users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-office/openoffice-bin-2.2.1"</code>
