Synopsis:	Important: openoffice.org security update
Issue date:	2010-02-12
CVE Names:	CVE-2009-2949 CVE-2009-2950 CVE-2009-3301
                   CVE-2009-3302

CVE-2009-2950 openoffice.org: GIF file parsing heap overflow
CVE-2009-2949 openoffice.org: integer overflow in XPM processing
CVE-2009-3301 OpenOffice.org Word sprmTDefTable Memory Corruption
CVE-2009-3302 OpenOffice.org Word sprmTSetBrc Memory Corruption

An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was
found in the way OpenOffice.org parsed XPM files. An attacker could 
create a specially-crafted document, which once opened by a local, 
unsuspecting user, could lead to arbitrary code execution with the 
permissions of the user running OpenOffice.org. Note: This flaw affects 
embedded XPM files in OpenOffice.org documents as well as stand-alone 
XPM files. (CVE-2009-2949)

An integer underflow flaw and a boundary error flaw, both possibly 
leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, were found in the way 
OpenOffice.org parsed certain records in Microsoft Word documents. An 
attacker could create a specially-crafted Microsoft Word document, which 
once opened by a local, unsuspecting user, could cause OpenOffice.org to 
crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the permissions of 
the user running OpenOffice.org. (CVE-2009-3301, CVE-2009-3302)

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw, leading to memory corruption, was 
found in the way OpenOffice.org parsed GIF files. An attacker could 
create a specially-crafted document, which once opened by a local, 
unsuspecting user, could cause OpenOffice.org to crash. Note: This flaw 
affects embedded GIF files in OpenOffice.org documents as well as 
stand-alone GIF files. (CVE-2009-2950)

All running instances of OpenOffice.org applications must be restarted 
for this update to take effect.
