Description:
Sun has acknowledged a vulnerability in Sun StarOffice, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to integer overflows when processing certain tags within TIFF images. This can be exploited to cause heap-based buffer overflows by e.g. tricking a user into opening a specially crafted document.

Successful exploitation may allow the execution of arbitrary code.
