DESCRIPTION:
Sun has acknowledged a vulnerability in Sun StarOffice, which
potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
user's system.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to integer overflows when
processing certain tags within TIFF images. This can be exploited to

opening a specially crafted document.

Successful exploitation may allow the execution of arbitrary code.
