[libreoffice-users] Security considerations when opening documents

Greetings,

I have a general question about security.

Not counting possible programming errors (such as buffer overflows), is it
secure to open *any* document with LibreOffice (with any of its components,
like Writer or Calc)?

Or is there a protocol by which a document could cause harmful code to be
executed? If so, can it be switched off?

I receive a lot of documents by e-mail from all different sources. I'm
wondering whether I should take additional precautions before opening them
with LibreOffice.

Thank you!
Lasse
