Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2012-123 - Multiple heap-based buffer overflow flaws were found in the XML manifest encryption tag parsing code of LibreOffice. An attacker could create a specially-crafted file in the Open Document Format for Office Applications format which when opened could cause arbitrary code execution. libreoffice for Mandriva Linux 2011 has been upgraded to the 3.5.5 version which is not vulnerable to this issue.
74e32dd9f3fd8c69c0ed7ea725fef06274f6e407d2787625ef8145944f3c6ec2Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2012-090 - An integer overflow vulnerability in the openoffice.org graphic loading code could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code. An integer overflow flaw, leading to buffer overflow, was found in the way openoffice.org processed invalid Escher graphics records length in PowerPoint documents. An attacker could provide a specially-crafted PowerPoint document that, when opened, would cause openoffice.org to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running openoffice.org. The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
