CVE-2005-0941

CVE-2005-0941 describes a heap-based buffer overflow in OpenOffice.org 1.1.4 and earlier, specifically within the StgCompObjStream::Load function. This vulnerability arises from a mismatch in memory allocation (16-bit) and processing (32-bit) for length values in DOC documents. A remote attacker could exploit this by crafting a malicious DOC file, leading to a denial of service and potentially arbitrary code execution. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 5.1, indicating a medium severity. It is remotely exploitable with high attack complexity (AV:N/AC:H), and could result in partial impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:P/I:P/A:P). There is no evidence of active exploitation, nor are there publicly available exploit modules in Metasploit, Nuclei, or ExploitDB. The vulnerability has received minimal community discussion or media coverage, suggesting a low level of public attention.
