NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openoffice.org-javafilter package and not the openoffice.org-javafilter package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

Integer overflow in OpenOffice.org before 2.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via an EMF file with a crafted EMR_STRETCHBLT record, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
