Debian Security Advisory DSA 2099-1 security@debian.org

Package : openoffice.org
Vulnerability : buffer overflows
Problem type : local (remote)
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2010-2935 CVE-2010-2936

Charlie Miller has discovered two vulnerabilities in OpenOffice.org
Impress, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
user's system and execute arbitrary code.

1) An integer truncation error when parsing certain content can be
exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially
crafted file.

2) A short integer overflow error when parsing certain content can
be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially
crafted file.

For the stable distribution (lenny) these problems have been fixed in
version 2.4.1+dfsg-1+lenny8.

For the testing (squeeze) and unstable (sid) distributions these
problems have been fixed in version 3.2.1-6.

We recommend that you upgrade your openoffice.org packages.
