Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2008-2152 is a legacy OpenOffice.org flaw where a specially crafted file could corrupt memory and let an attacker run code. The business risk is highest where old OpenOffice.org 2.0 through 2.4 remains installed and users can open untrusted documents. Exposure is most likely on unmanaged or legacy systems still running OpenOffice.org 2.0 through 2.4, including older distribution packages referenced by Red Hat, Fedora, Gentoo, Mandriva, and Sun advisories. Current exposure cannot be inferred from the bundle. Treat this as a high-priority legacy software cleanup item. It is old, but code execution through crafted documents remains serious if affected versions are still present in business workflows or archived system images. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems for OpenOffice.org 2.0 through 2.4.; Apply fixed packages from OpenOffice.org or the relevant OS vendor advisory.; Retire or isolate unsupported systems that cannot be updated..
