Descriptions

The ole_init function in ole.c in catdoc 0.95 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer underflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted file, i.e., data is written to memory addresses before the beginning of the tmpBuf buffer.

La función ole_init en el archivo ole.c en catdoc versión 0.95, permite a los atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (desbordamiento de búfer en la región heap de la memoria y bloqueo de aplicación) o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado por medio de un archivo creado, es decir, los datos se escriben en las direcciones de memoria antes del comienzo del búfer tmpBuf.

A heap-based buffer underflow flaw was discovered in catdoc, a text extractor for MS-Office files, which may lead to denial of service (application crash) or have unspecified other impact, if a specially crafted file is processed.
