Document Foundation · Libreoffice · CVE-2012-2334
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
OpenOffice.org versions 3.3 through 3.4 Beta
LibreOffice versions prior to 3.5.3
**Description**
The issue is related to an integer overflow in the `filter/source/msfilter/msdffimp.cxx` component, which can be triggered by the length of an Escher graphics record in a PowerPoint (.ppt) document. This can cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code, leading to unauthorized access to confidential data, disruption of service, or impact on data integrity.
**Recommendations**
For OpenOffice.org versions 3.3 through 3.4 Beta, consider updating to a version outside of this range to mitigate the risk.
For LibreOffice versions prior to 3.5.3, update to version 3.5.3 or later to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the `msdffimp.cxx` component or avoiding the opening of specially crafted PPT files until a patch is available.
