Detail

Product: StarOffice 8, StarSuite 8

A security vulnerability with the way StarOffice/StarSuite 8 processes ODF text documents with XForms, using the 3rd party library ICU, may allow a remote unprivileged user who provides a StarOffice/StarSuite document that is opened by a local user toexecute arbitrary commands on the system with the privileges of the user running StarOffice/StarSuite, or to cause a Denial Of Service (DoS) to the application (excessive memory consumption or application crash).

This issue is described in the following documents:
