Some shell characters are not escaped in hyperlinks. If a victim loads a OO file that contains a malicious hyperlink it could run shell commands as the victim if they click on it. However this issue is mitigated somewhat as you can't do whitespace and many special characters, so you're really limited to running single existing commands with no arguments as the unprivileged user. http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=58013 http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=72543 Already public in the bugs, but will be announced on 20070227
