- CVEs with nessus.description==The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200612-05 (KOffice shared libraries: Heap corruption)
Kees Cook of Ubuntu discovered that 'KLaola::readBigBlockDepot()' in klaola.cc fills 'num_of_bbd_blocks' while reading a .ppt (PowerPoint) file without proper sanitizing, resulting in an integer overflow subsequently overwriting the heap with parts of the file being read.
Impact :
By enticing a user to open a specially crafted PowerPoint file, an attacker could crash the application and possibly execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user running KOffice.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time.
