Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200805-16 - Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in OpenOffice.org, possibly allowing for user-assisted execution of arbitrary code. Versions less than 2.4.0 are affected.
82c6a43132ca6c9ca557f4f425c4fd77217a2daa4bbf5b388fdaff52633460b9SUSE Security Announcement - A large amount of vulnerabilities related to OpenOffice have been patched on SuSE.
844f9feac6e7fecf046f967e47d04ca672e92a3da3619753c28a416cc530a21cUbuntu Security Notice 591-1 - Will Drewry discovered that libicu did not properly handle '\0' when processing regular expressions. If an application linked against libicu processed a crafted regular expression, an attacker could execute arbitrary code with privileges of the user invoking the program. Will Drewry discovered that libicu did not properly limit its backtracking stack size. If an application linked against libicu processed a crafted regular expression, an attacker could cause a denial of service via resource exhaustion.
43ef2719613b8d5bf9eea3846c82191bc3d3dec5515dd68f8bb516d313dad394Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200803-20 - Will Drewry (Google Security) reported a vulnerability in the regular expression engine when using back references to capture \0 characters (CVE-2007-4770). He also found that the backtracking stack size is not limited, possibly allowing for a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2007-4771). Versions less than 3.8.1-r1 are affected.
f981efd5f730cb09f5be1a034695e4cb9c063e51327d95b36499e0704ff91262Debian Security Advisory 1511-1 - libicu in International Components for Unicode (ICU) 3.8.1 and earlier attempts to process backreferences to the nonexistent capture group zero (aka \0), which might allow context-dependent attackers to read from, or write to, out-of-bounds memory locations, related to corruption of REStackFrames. A heap-based buffer overflow in the doInterval function in regexcmp.cpp in libicu in International Components for Unicode (ICU) 3.8.1 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) and possibly have unspecified other impact via a regular expression that writes a large amount of data to the backtracking stack.

If an application linked against libicu, such as OpenOffice.org, processed a carefully-crafted regular expression, it could potentially cause the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
