Descriptions

Apache OpenOffice versions before 4.1.14 may be configured to add an empty entry to the Java class path. This may lead to run arbitrary Java code from the current directory.

A flaw was found in LibreOffice. When an empty Java class path entry is configured, LibreOffice will search for Java classes in the current working directory, allowing malicious Java classes to load when opening a document using the file manager, resulting in arbitrary code execution.
