CVE-2010-2935

Description

From CVE.org

simpress.bin in the Impress module in OpenOffice.org (OOo) 2.x and 3.x before 3.3 does not properly handle integer values associated with dictionary property items, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PowerPoint document that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow, related to an "integer truncation error."

Statement

This issue is not planned to be fixed in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, as its impact is mitigated by standard glibc protection mechanisms to cause only application abort.

Red Hat Security Response Team does not consider a user-assisted crash (abort) of a client application, such as OpenOffice.org Impress tool, to be a security issue.

Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details

Info alert:Important note

CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
