CVE-2016-6804: Apache Openoffice

High severity, CVSS 7.8. EPSS: 3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The Apache OpenOffice installer (versions prior to 4.1.3, including some branded as OpenOffice.org) for Windows contains a defective operation that allows execution of arbitrary code with elevated privileges. This requires that the location in which the installer is run has been previously poisoned by a file that impersonates a dynamic-link library that the installer depends upon.

Affected products

• Apache Openoffice: before 4.1.3 (fixed in 4.1.3)
