OpenOffice RTF File Parser Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

OpenOffice is prone to a remote heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer.

Remote attackers may exploit this issue by enticing victims into opening maliciously crafted RTF files.

An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial of service.
