Discussion

OpenOffice StarCalc Parser Unspecified Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

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

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.
