Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as very critical, has been found in Sun OpenOffice (Office Suite Software). This issue affects the function WW8ListManager::WW8ListManager. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

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.

The weakness was released 01/26/2011 by Dan Rosenberg with Red Hat as Bug 640950 as not defined bug report (Bugzilla). The advisory is shared at bugzilla.redhat.com.
