TITLE:
OpenOffice.org Word Document Table Parsing Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA35036

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/35036/

DESCRIPTION:
Secunia Research has discovered two vulnerabilities in OpenOffice,
which can be exploited by malicious people to potentially compromise
a user's system.

1) An integer underflow error when parsing certain records can be
exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially
crafted Microsoft Word document.

2) A boundary error when parsing certain records can be exploited to
cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted Microsoft
Word document.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities may allow execution of
arbitrary code.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 3.1.0. Prior versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 3.1.1.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Dyon Balding, Secunia Research.
