Vendor description:
-------------------
"OpenOffice.org 3 is the leading open-source office software suite for
word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics, databases and
more. It is available in many languages and works on all common
computers."

Vulnerability overview/description:
-----------------------------------
OpenOffice.org includes the customized libwpd version 0.8.8 library for
parsing WordPerfect documents. The used version of the libwpd library
suffers from a memory overwrite vulnerability when reading a specially
crafted WPD file. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could
result in an arbitrary code execution within the OpenOffice.org
software suite.
Proof of concept:
-----------------
The vulnerability resides in the WPXContentListener::_closeTableRow()
function which is declared in the WPXContentListener.cpp file. The
function doesn't check if the variable's m_ps->m_currentTableCol value
is less than zero before entering the while loop which leads to an
integer overflow and decrementation of the memory location pointed by
m_ps->m_numRowsToSkip[m_ps->m_currentTableCol] address if the
conditions are met. Related code excerpt:
void WPXContentListener::_closeTableRow()
{
if (m_ps->m_isTableRowOpened)
{
while ((long)m_ps->m_currentTableCol <
(long)m_ps->m_numRowsToSkip.size()) {
if
(!m_ps->m_numRowsToSkip[m_ps->m_currentTableCol]) {
RGBSColor tmpCellBorderColor(0x00,
0x00, 0x00, 0x64); _openTableCell(1, 1, 0xFF, 0, 0,
&tmpCellBorderColor, TOP); _closeTableCell();
}
else
m_ps->m_numRowsToSkip[m_ps->m_currentTableCol++]--;
}
if (m_ps->m_isTableCellOpened)
_closeTableCell();
m_listenerImpl->closeTableRow();
}
m_ps->m_isTableRowOpened = false;
}
The variable's m_ps->m_currentTableCol value can be influenced by
calling WPXContentListener::_closeTable() function which sets its value
to -1 after the call to WPXContentListener::_openTableRow() function.
Calling the _openTableRow() function again results in
WPXContentListener::_closeTableRow() being called and the memory
location pointed by the m_ps->m_numRowsToSkip[-1] address is being
decremented.
It was possible to build a specially crafted WPD file containing byte
sequences that represent the above mentioned functions to decrement
valid C++ object's pointer as many times as it needed to achieve
arbitrary code execution when virtual functions of that object were
called. The exploit code will not be published.
