Security update for openoffice.org



Rene Engelhard uploaded new packages for openoffice.org which fixed the
following security problems:

CVE-2010-2935 CVE-2010-2936:

 Charlie Miller has discovered two vulnerabilities in OpenOffice.org
 Impress, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
 user's system and execute arbitrary code.
 
    1) An integer truncation error when parsing certain content can be
    exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially
    crafted file.
 
    2) A short integer overflow error when parsing certain content can
    be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially
    crafted file.

For the lenny-backports distribution the problems have been fixed in          
version 1:3.2.1-6~bpo50+1.

For the squeeze and sid distributions the problems have been fixed in 
version 1:3.2.1-6.

Upgrade instructions

the packagelist of your installed packages affected by this update.
