CVE-2012-2334: Buffer Overflow
First published: Tue May 15 2012(Updated: )
An integer overflow flaw, leading to buffer overflow, was found in the way OpenOffice.org processed invalid Escher graphics records length in PowerPoint documents. An attacker could provide a specially-crafted PowerPoint document that, when opened, would cause OpenOffice.org to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running OpenOffice.org.
