OpenOffice.org Impress File Processing Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities

Two vulnerabilitieshave been identified in OpenOffice.org, which could be exploited by attackers to compromise a vulnerable system. These issues are caused by buffer overflow errors in Impress when processing malformed documents, which could be exploited by attackers to crash an affected application or execute arbitrary code e.g. by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted PPT document.
