Ubuntu Security Notice USN-677-1 - Multiple memory overflow flaws were discovered in OpenOffice.org's handling of WMF and EMF files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted document, a remote attacker might be able to execute arbitrary code with user privileges. Dmitry E. Oboukhov discovered that senddoc, as included in OpenOffice.org, created temporary files in an insecure way. Local users could exploit a race condition to create or overwrite files with the privileges of the user invoking the program. This issue only affected Ubuntu 8.04 LTS.
