NRT-0104 Bugs Plague STAROFFICE and OPENOFFICE Suites:


Bugs in Sun Microsystems' StarOffice and OpenOffice.org's OpenOffice application suites allow attackers to snatch control of a computer by serving up malicious documents or URL's. The flaws are in StarOffice's StarCalc Spreadsheet and in how the Suite handles URL's, said Sun in two advisories posted to its website. Neither vulnerability has been patched, and Sun had no workaround or temporary defense recommendations. Sun could not immediately provide a patch delivery date.
