openoffice.org: insecure relative RPATH in OOo 1.1.x packages

Untrusted search path vulnerability in a certain Red Hat build script for OpenOffice.org (OOo) 1.1.x on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 3 and 4 allows local users to gain privileges via a malicious library in the current working directory, related to incorrect quoting of the ORIGIN symbol for use in the RPATH library path.

The installation of OpenOffice 1.0.1 allows local users to overwrite files and possibly gain privileges via a symlink attack on the USERNAME_autoresponse.conf temporary file.

security flaw

OpenOffice (OOo) 1.1.2 creates predictable directory names with insecure permissions during startup, which may allow local users to read or list files of other users.

security flaw

The StgCompObjStream::Load function in OpenOffice.org OpenOffice 1.1.4 and earlier allocates memory based on 16 bit length values, but process memory using 32 bit values, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a DOC document with certain length values, which leads to a heap-based buffer overflow.

OpenOffice.org 2.0 and earlier, when hyperlinks has been disabled, does not prevent the user from clicking the WWW-browser button in the Hyperlink dialog, which makes it easier for attackers to trick the user into bypassing intended security settings.

security flaw

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.

security flaw

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.

security flaw

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: Integer truncation error by parsing specially-crafted Microsoft PowerPoint document

simpress.bin in the Impress module in OpenOffice.org (OOo) 2.x and 3.x before 3.3 does not properly handle integer values associated with dictionary property items, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PowerPoint document that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow, related to an "integer truncation error."

OpenOffice.org: Heap-based buffer overflow by parsing specially-crafted Microsoft PowerPoint document

Integer overflow in simpress.bin in the Impress module in OpenOffice.org (OOo) 2.x and 3.x before 3.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted polygons in a PowerPoint document that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
