This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.
OpenOffice.org is an office productivity suite. HSQLDB is a Java relational database engine used by OpenOffice.org Base.
It was discovered that HSQLDB could allow the execution of arbitrary public static Java methods. A carefully crafted odb file opened in OpenOffice.org Base could execute arbitrary commands with the permissions of the user running OpenOffice.org. (CVE-2007-4575)
It was discovered that HSQLDB did not have a password set on the 'sa' user. If HSQLDB has been configured as a service, a remote attacker who could connect to the HSQLDB port (tcp 9001) could execute arbitrary SQL commands. (CVE-2003-0845)
Note that in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, HSQLDB is not enabled as a service by default, and needs manual configuration in order to work as a service.
Users of OpenOffice.org or HSQLDB should update to these errata packages which contain backported patches to correct these issues.
