Description Jan Lieskovsky 2010-08-09 17:45:32 UTC

A short integer overflow, leading to heap-based buffer overflow was found in 
the way OpenOffice.org Impress presentation aplication processed polygons in 
input document. An attacker could use this flaw to create a specially-crafted
Microsoft PowerPoint (PPT) file that, when opened, would cause simpress.bin 
executable to crash, or, possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges
of the user running the ooimpress tool.

Comment 12 Jan Lieskovsky 2010-08-12 10:01:56 UTC

Created openoffice.org tracking bugs for this issue

Affects: fedora-all [bug 623609]

Comment 14 Jan Lieskovsky 2010-08-12 15:35:33 UTC

Statement:

This issue is not planned to be fixed in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5,
as its impact is mitigated by standard glibc protection mechanisms to
cause only application abort.

Red Hat Security Response Team does not consider a user-assisted crash
(abort) of a client application, such as OpenOffice.org Impress tool,
to be a security issue.

Comment 15 errata-xmlrpc 2010-08-23 14:33:03 UTC
