OpenOffice DOC document Heap Overflow
[Security Advisory]

Advisory：[AD_LAB-05001] OpenOffice DOC document Heap Overflow
Class: Design Error
DATE:30/3/2005

Vulnerable:
    <=OpenOffice OpenOffice 1.1.4
Unvulnerable:
	Unknow
Vendor:
 	www.openoffice.org

I.DESCRIPTION: 
-------------
 	OpenOffice.org is an office productivity suite, including word
processing, spreadsheets, presentations, drawings, data charting,
formula editing, and file conversion facilities.
The vulnerability is caused due to a  error within the .Doc document header 
processing.This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow. 

II.DETAILS:
----------
	There is a vulnerability in  StgCompObjStream::Load() function，
When reading DOC document information of format，memory is allocated by DOC
provide length. 
DOC provided a 32 bits integer,and will use the low 16 bits of this number to
allocate memory,
but when reading doc information,still use the 32 bits number as length,this
maybe cause heap
overflow, and when free happened ,will cause write pointer,maybe cause arbitrary
code excute .

BOOL StgCompObjStream::Load()
{
	memset( &aClsId, 0, sizeof( ClsId ) );
	nCbFormat = 0;
	aUserName.Erase();
	if( GetError() != SVSTREAM_OK )
		return FALSE;
	Seek( 8L );		
	INT32 nMarker = 0;
	*this >> nMarker;
	if( nMarker == -1L )
	{
		*this >> aClsId;
		INT32 nLen1 = 0;
		*this >> nLen1; // we can control this 32 bits int
		sal_Char* p = new sal_Char[ (USHORT) nLen1 ]; //use low 16 bits value to
allocate memory 
		if( Read( p, nLen1 ) == (ULONG) nLen1 ) //still use 32 bits int as length,if
failed,
							// will goto free step,maybe cause write pointer.
		{
			aUserName = String( p, gsl_getSystemTextEncoding() );
			....
			nCbFormat = ReadClipboardFormat( *this );
		}
		else
			SetError( SVSTREAM_GENERALERROR );
        delete [] p; //free step,heap overflow cause write pointer.
	}
	return BOOL( GetError() == SVSTREAM_OK );
}
example:
	if we provide 0x10000018 to nLen1,will allocate 0x18 length memory,
 Read( p, nLen1 ) still use 0x10000018 as length,then, read will fail,
 but readed length is bigger than allocated memory,and overwrite the next chunk.
when goto delete [] p;,write pointer happened. we had triggered this problem
successful,and cause arbitrary code excute .
	StartOffice maybe affected too. did not test.
