Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in KOffice, which can be exploited by malicious people to potentially compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to an integer overflow within the "KLaola::readBigBlockDepot()" method in filters/olefilters/lib/klaola.cc. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow by e.g. tricking a user into opening a specially crafted PowerPoint (*.ppt) file.
Successful exploitation may allow the execution of arbitrary code.
