The WPXContentListener::_closeTableRow function in WPXContentListener.cpp in libwpd 0.8.8, as used by OpenOffice.org (OOo) before 3.4, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted Wordperfect .WPD document that causes a negative array index to be used. NOTE: some sources report this issue as an integer overflow.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2012-2149 is a document-parsing flaw in libwpd 0.8.8, used by OpenOffice.org before 3.4. A malicious WordPerfect .WPD file could corrupt memory and potentially run code when opened. Business risk is highest where legacy office software or automated document conversion handles untrusted files. Exposure is likely on legacy desktops, terminal servers, or document-processing services using OpenOffice.org before 3.4 or libwpd 0.8.8 to open WordPerfect .WPD files. Structured affected-product data is incomplete in the bundle. Prioritize remediation where legacy office software opens external documents or where servers automatically convert uploaded files. This is older, but arbitrary code execution through a document parser remains material if affected software persists. Mitigation focus: Upgrade OpenOffice.org installations to 3.4 or later where applicable.; Apply vendor packages from Red Hat, Gentoo, or relevant Linux distributors.; Remove or isolate legacy libwpd 0.8.8 from document-processing workflows..
