CVE-2010-3451: Buffer Overflow
First published: Fri Oct 08 2010(Updated: )
An array index error, leading to heap based buffer overflow, was found in the way OpenOffice.org parsed RTF files. If a user opened a specially-crafted RTF file, with broken RTF tables, in OpenOffice.org suite tool (oowriter), it could lead to denial of service (oowriter executable crash), or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running OpenOffice.org Writer.

Upstream acknowledges Dan Rosenberg of Virtual Security Research as the original reporter.
