Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in OpenOffice.org. A remote user can cause arbitrary code to be executed on the target user's system.

  1. A remote user can create a specially crafted file that, when loaded by the target user, will trigger an integer overflow in 'vclmi.dll' and execute arbitrary code on the target system. The code will run with the privileges of the target user. A DOC file with a specially crafted embedded JPEG object can trigger the overflow.
  2. A remote user can create a specially crafted Wordperfect WPD-format document that, when loaded by the target user, will trigger a memory overwrite flaw and execute arbitrary code on the target system. The code will run with the privileges of the target user.
