Descriptions

Apache OpenOffice.org (OOo) before 4.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via invalid PLCF data in a DOC document file.

Apache OpenOffice.org (OOo) anterior a 4.0 permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria) o posiblemente tener un impacto no especificado a través de datos PLCF no válidos en un archivo DOC.

Apache OpenOffice suffers from a vulnerability that is caused by operating on invalid PLCF (Plex of Character Positions in File) data when parsing a malformed DOC document file. Specially crafted documents can be used for denial-of-service attacks. Further exploits are possible but have not been verified. Versions affected include Apache OpenOffice 3.4.0 to 3.4.1 on all platforms.
