CVE-2005-0941
The StgCompObjStream::Load function in OpenOffice.org OpenOffice 1.1.4
and earlier allocates memory based on 16 bit length values, but
process memory using 32 bit values, which allows remote attackers to
cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a
DOC document with certain length values, which leads to a heap-based
buffer overflow.

Solution:
Update your system with the appropriate patches or
software upgrades.
