OpenOffice.org HSQLDB code execution
| openoffice-hsqldb-code-execution (38882) |  High Risk |
Description:
OpenOffice.org could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an unspecified error in the HSQLDB database engine. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted database document, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary static Java code on the vulnerable system.
