USN-313-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in OpenOffice for Ubuntu 5.04 and
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS. This followup advisory provides the corresponding
update for Ubuntu 5.10.
For reference, these are the details of the original USN:
It was possible to embed Basic macros in documents in a way that
OpenOffice.org would not ask for confirmation about executing them. By
tricking a user into opening a malicious document, this could be
exploited to run arbitrary Basic code (including local file access and
modification) with the user's privileges. (CVE-2006-2198)
A flaw was discovered in the Java sandbox which allowed Java applets
to break out of the sandbox and execute code without restrictions. By

A flaw was discovered in the Java sandbox which allowed Java applets
to break out of the sandbox and execute code without restrictions. By
tricking a user into opening a malicious document, this could be
exploited to run arbitrary code with the user's privileges. This
update disables Java applets for OpenOffice.org, since it is not
generally possible to guarantee the sandbox restriction

CVE-2006-2198:
After all that news about Stardust, some Sun security specialist did some
deeper security audits in StarOffice. And he did a really great job on that!
He found a solution to put macros into document locations where our
application framework doesn't expect them.
The macros can be contained there for some historical reasons, and some
other code is starting the execution without checking permissions.
The macro will be executed when loading the document, even if macros are
disabled, without any user interaction!
CVE-2006-2199:
There was an other thing our security specialist found out.
It is possible to write Java applets that breaks out of the sandbox!
People here in StarOffice engineering think the best
