CVE-2006-5870: n/a vulnerability

Multiple integer overflows in OpenOffice.org (OOo) 2.0.4 and earlier, and possibly other versions before 2.1.0; and StarOffice 6 through 8; allow user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted (a) WMF or (b) EMF file that triggers heap-based buffer overflows in (1) wmf/winwmf.cxx, during processing of META_ESCAPE records; and wmf/enhwmf.cxx, during processing of (2) EMR_POLYPOLYGON and (3) EMR_POLYPOLYGON16 records.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This older issue affects legacy OpenOffice.org and StarOffice installs. A malicious WMF or EMF image file could corrupt memory when opened, potentially letting an attacker run code as the user. The attack requires user interaction, such as opening a crafted file. Exposure is most likely in legacy desktop environments that still have OpenOffice.org 2.0.4 or earlier, pre-2.1.0 builds, or StarOffice 6 through 8 installed and used to open untrusted WMF or EMF content. Treat this as a legacy exposure cleanup item with high impact if affected software remains in use. It is not KEV-listed in the supplied data, but arbitrary code execution through document handling warrants prompt inventory and remediation. Mitigation focus: Inventory endpoints for affected OpenOffice.org and StarOffice versions.; Apply fixed vendor packages or migrate away from unsupported legacy suites.; Restrict untrusted WMF and EMF attachments where business workflows allow..
