A security vulnerability with the way StarOffice/StarSuite 8 processes
ODF text documents with XForms, using the 3rd party library ICU, 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, or to cause a Denial Of Service (DoS) to the
application (excessive memory consumption or application crash).
