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 found in OpenOffice and LibreOffice, the worst of which may result in execution of arbitrary code.
