Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in OpenOffice 1.1.5/2.0/2.0.2/2.0.3/2.0.4 (Office Suite Software). It has been classified as critical. This affects an unknown code block of the component DNS Cache. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a code injection vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-94. The product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

OpenOffice.org (OOo) before 2.1.0 does not properly verify the authenticity of updates, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to execute arbitrary code via a Trojan horse update, as demonstrated by evilgrade and DNS cache poisoning.
