Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200704-12 - John Heasman of NGSSoftware has discovered a stack-based buffer overflow in the StarCalc parser and an input validation error when processing metacharacters in a link. Also OpenOffice.Org includes code from libwpd making it vulnerable to heap-based overflows when converting WordPerfect document tables (GLSA 200704-07). Versions less than 2.1.0-r1 are affected.
74b0fcdf442f7d50af5cc91ca0bc3cc8490733897b5f1c1544134f2e17d01f6bMandriva Linux Security Advisory - Stack-based buffer overflow in the StarCalc parser in OpenOffice.org (OOo) Office Suite allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted document. OpenOffice.org (OOo) Office Suite allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in a prepared link in a crafted document.
56b220c1da1369eb014d4498a0742c9e0d7755b8ceb84a7f162bd4755ef5ab0eDebian Security Advisory 1270-2 - Several security related problems have been discovered in OpenOffice.org, the free office suite. iDefense reported several integer overflow bugs in libwpd, a library for handling WordPerfect documents that is included in OpenOffice.org. Attackers are able to exploit these with carefully crafted WordPerfect files that could cause an application linked with libwpd to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code. Next Generation Security discovered that the StarCalc parser in OpenOffice.org contains an easily exploitable stack overflow that could be used exploited by a specially crafted document to execute arbitrary code. It has been reported that OpenOffice.org does not escape shell meta characters and is hence vulnerable to execute arbitrary shell commands via a specially crafted document after the user clicked to a prepared link.

If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted document, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with user privileges. A flaw was discovered in OpenOffice.org's link handling code. If a user were tricked into clicking a link in a specially crafted document, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary shell commands with user privileges.
