Descriptions

Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the XML manifest encryption tag parsing functionality in OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice before 3.5.5 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted Open Document Text (.odt) file with (1) a child tag within an incorrect parent tag, (2) duplicate tags, or (3) a Base64 ChecksumAttribute whose length is not evenly divisible by four.

Múltiples desbordamientos de bufer basado en en la funcionalidad de cifrado de manifiesto XML en la etiqueta en OpenOffice.org y LibreOffice anterior a v3.5.5 permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio y posiblemente ejecutar código arbitrario a través de un Documento de texto diseñado (. Odt) con el archivo(1) una etiqueta de niño dentro de una etiqueta principal incorrecta, (2) duplicar los tags, o (3) un ChecksumAttribute Base64 cuya longitud no es divisible por cuatro.

LibreOffice is an open source, community-developed office productivity suite. It includes the key desktop applications, such as a word processor, spreadsheet application, presentation manager, formula editor, and a drawing program. Multiple heap-based buffer overflow flaws were found in the way LibreOffice processed encryption information in the manifest files of OpenDocument Format files. An attacker could provide a specially-crafted OpenDocument Format file that, when opened in a LibreOffice application, would cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
