Descriptions

The WW8ListManager::WW8ListManager function in oowriter in OpenOffice.org (OOo) 2.x and 3.x before 3.3 does not properly handle an unspecified number of list levels in user-defined list styles in WW8 data in a Microsoft Word document, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted .DOC file that triggers an out-of-bounds write.

La función WW8ListManager::WW8ListManager en oowriter en OpenOffice.org v2.x (OOo) y v3.x anterior a v3.3 no controla correctamente un número no especificado de niveles de lista en la lista de estilos para el usuario en datos WW8 en un documento de Microsoft Word, que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída de aplicación) o posiblemente ejecutar código arbitrario a través de un archivo DOC manipulado que desencadena una escritura fuera de rango.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been addressed in OpenOffice. Charlie Miller discovered several heap overflows in PPT processing. Marc Schoenefeld discovered that directory traversal was not correctly handled in XSLT, OXT, JAR, or ZIP files. Dan Rosenberg discovered multiple heap overflows in RTF and DOC processing. Dmitri Gribenko discovered that OpenOffice.org did not correctly handle LD_LIBRARY_PATH in various tools. Marc Schoenefeld discovered that OpenOffice.org did not correctly process PNG images. It was discovered that OpenOffice.org did not correctly process TGA images.
