OpenOffice.org Multiple Vulnerabilities

Secunia ID	SA35036
CVE-ID	CVE-2009-0200, CVE-2009-0201, CVE-2009-2414, CVE-2009-2416, CVE-2009-3569, CVE-2009-3570, CVE-2009-3571
Release Date	01 Sep 2009
Last Change	19 Oct 2009
Criticality	Highly Critical Typically used for remotely exploitable vulnerabilities that can lead to system compromise. Successful exploitation does not normally require any interaction but there are no known exploits available at the time of disclosure. Such vulnerabilities can exist in services like FTP, HTTP, and SMTP or in client systems like email programs or browsers.
Solution Status	Vendor Patch
Software	OpenOffice.org 2.x OpenOffice.org 3.x
Where	From remote "From remote" describes other vulnerabilities where the attack vector doesn't require access to the system or a local network. This category covers services that are acceptable to expose to the Internet (e.g. HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP). It also covers client applications used on the Internet and certain vulnerabilities where it is reasonable to assume that a security conscious user can be tricked into performing certain actions.
Impact	System access This covers vulnerabilities where malicious people are able to gain system access and execute arbitrary code with the privileges of a local user.
Description	Some vulnerabilities have been reported in OpenOffice, which can be exploited by malicious people to potentially compromise a user's system. 1) An integer underflow error when parsing certain records can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted Microsoft Word document. 2) A boundary error when parsing certain records can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted Microsoft Word document. Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities may allow execution of arbitrary code. The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 3.1.0. Prior versions may also be affected. 3) Two errors in the processing of XML documents can be exploited to potentially execute arbitrary code via specially crafted XML documents. This is related to: SA36631 The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 3.1.1 and 2.4.3.
Solution	Update to version 3.1.1 or 2.4.3.
Reported by	1, 2) Dyon Balding, Secunia Research. 3) Reported by the vendor.
