Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in OpenOffice, which can be exploited by malicious people to potentially compromise a user's system.

1) Boundary errors in the parsing of "Attribute" and "Font Description" records in Quattro Pro files can be exploited to cause heap-based buffer overflows via a specially crafted Quattro Pro file with more than 256 records.

2) An integer underflow error in the parsing of Quattro Pro files can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted Quattro Pro file.

3) An integer overflow error in the parsing of EMR_STRETCHBLT records in EMF files can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via a specially crafted EMF file.

4) A boundary error in the parsing of "DocumentSummaryInformation" streams in OLE files can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted OLE file.

5) Two errors in the processing of ODF text documents containing specially crafted XForms can be exploited to corrupt heap memory.

For more information:

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 2.4.
