Descriptions

Heap-based buffer overflow in OpenOffice.org (OOo) 2.2.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a RTF file with a crafted prtdata tag with a length parameter inconsistency, which causes vtable entries to be overwritten.

Un desbordamiento de búfer en la región heap de la memoria en OpenOffice.org (OOo) versión 2.2.1 y anteriores permite a los atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario por medio de un archivo RTF con una etiqueta prtdata creada con una incoherencia de parámetro length, lo que causa que las entradas de vtable se sobrescriban.

John Heasman of NGSSoftware has discovered a heap-based buffer overflow when parsing the prdata tag in RTF files where the first token is smaller than the second one (CVE-2007-0245). Additionally, the OpenOffice binary program is shipped with a version of FreeType that contains an integer signedness error in the n_points variable in file truetype/ttgload.c, which was covered by GLSA 200705-22 (CVE-2007-2754). Versions less than 2.2.1 are affected.
