>Fix:

Since 2.4.2 is in the tree, there is no point to upgrade any ports.
I believe that openoffice-2-RC and openoffice-2-devel are vulnerable
too, because vendor says about affected releases "All versions prior
to OpenOffice.org 2.4.2".

The following VuXML entry should be evaluated and added:
--- vuln.xml begins here ---
<vuln vid="">
<topic>openoffice -- arbitrary code execution by processing crafted EMF/WMF files</topic>
<affects>
<package>
<name>openoffice.org</name>
<range><ge>2.4</ge><lt>2.4.2</lt></range>
<range><ge>2.4.20040402</ge></range>
</package>
</affects>

Vendor notifies:
<blockquote cite="http://www.openoffice.org/security/cves/CVE-2008-2237.html">
A security vulnerability with the way OpenOffice 2.x
process WMF files may allow a remote unprivileged user
who provides a StarOffice/StarSuite document that is
opened by a local user to execute arbitrary commands on
the system with the privileges of the user running
StarOffice/StarSuite. No working exploit is known right
now.

I hope that the version specification catches all openoffice 2.x
with x < 4.2 as well as -RC and -devel versions.
