Description |
41 |
=========== |
42 |
|
43 |
iDefense Labs reported that the TIFF parsing code uses untrusted values |
44 |
to calculate buffer sizes, which can lead to an integer overflow |
45 |
resulting in heap-based buffer overflow. |
46 |
|
47 |
Impact |
48 |
====== |
49 |
|
50 |
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted |
51 |
document, possibly leading to execution of arbitrary code with the |
52 |
privileges of the user running OpenOffice.org. |
