Unspecified vulnerability in OpenOffice.org (OOo) has unknown impact and client-side attack vector, as demonstrated by a certain module in VulnDisco Pack Professional 8.8, aka "Client-side exploit." NOTE: as of 20091005, this disclosure has no actionable information. However, because the VulnDisco Pack author is a reliable researcher, the issue is being assigned a CVE identifier for tracking purposes.
An integer truncation error, leading to heap-based buffer overflow was found in the way OpenOffice.org Impress presentation application sanitized dictionary property items of the processed file. 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.

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.

Heap-based buffer overflow in OpenOffice.org (OOo) 2.x before 2.4.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted WMF file associated with a StarOffice/StarSuite document.
Integer overflow in the rtlallocateMemory function in sal/rtl/source/allocglobal.c in OpenOffice.org (OOo) 2.0 through 2.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted file that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
Heap-based buffer overflow in the OLE importer in OpenOffice.org before 2.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via an OLE file with a crafted DocumentSummaryInformation stream.
OpenOffice.org (aka StarOffice) 1.1.x up to 1.1.5 and 2.0.x before 2.0.3 allows user-assisted attackers to conduct unauthorized activities via an OpenOffice document with a malicious BASIC macro, which is executed without prompting the user.
Unspecified vulnerability in Java Applets in OpenOffice.org 1.1.x (aka StarOffice) up to 1.1.5 and 2.0.x before 2.0.3 allows user-assisted attackers to escape the Java sandbox and conduct unauthorized activities via certain applets in OpenOffice documents.
Heap-based buffer overflow in OpenOffice.org (aka StarOffice) 1.1.x up to 1.1.5 and 2.0.x before 2.0.3 allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted OpenOffice XML document that is not properly handled by (1) Calc, (2) Draw, (3) Impress, (4) Math, or (5) Writer, aka "File Format / Buffer Overflow Vulnerability."
OpenOffice.org (OOo) before 2.1.0 does not properly verify the authenticity of updates, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to execute arbitrary code via a Trojan horse update, as demonstrated by evilgrade and DNS cache poisoning.
An integer signedness error, leading to heap-based buffer out-ouf-bounds read was found in the way OpenOffice.org processed certain Rich Text Format (RTF) tags. If a user opened a specially-crafted RTF file 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.

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.
