CVE-2008-2238
Multiple integer overflows in OpenOffice.org (OOo) 2.x before 2.4.2 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted EMR records in an EMF file associated with a StarOffice/StarSuite document, which trigger a heap-based buffer overflow.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (6.72%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
