An integer underflow vulnerability has been reported in OpenOffice. The vulnerability is due to an error in processing sprmTDefTable records in Microsoft Word files. A remote unauthenticated attacker could leverage this vulnerability by enticing a target user to open a malicious Microsoft Word file with a vulnerable version of the application. In a successful attack, it may result in a heap overflow leading to the possibility of code execution within the security context of the currently logged on user.
OpenOffice is prone to multiple remote code-execution vulnerabilities because of errors in processing certain files. Remote attackers can exploit these issues by enticing victims into opening maliciously crafted files. Successful exploits may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in a denial of service. Versions prior to OpenOffice 3.2 are vulnerable.
