Synopsis:	Important: openoffice.org security update
Issue date:	2010-08-23
CVE Names:	CVE-2010-2935 CVE-2010-2936

An integer truncation error, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, 
was found in the way the OpenOffice.org Impress presentation application
sanitized a file's dictionary property items. An attacker could use this
flaw to create a specially-crafted Microsoft Office PowerPoint file 
that, when opened, would cause OpenOffice.org Impress to crash or, 
possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running
OpenOffice.org Impress. (CVE-2010-2935)

An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was
found in the way OpenOffice.org Impress processed polygons in input
documents. An attacker could use this flaw to create a specially-crafted
Microsoft Office PowerPoint file that, when opened, would cause
OpenOffice.org Impress to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code 
with the privileges of the user running OpenOffice.org Impress. 
(CVE-2010-2936)

All running instances of OpenOffice.org applications must be restarted 
for this update to take effect.
