What is CVE-2007-5747?

An integer underflow vulnerability exists in OpenOffice.org prior to version 2.4, which allows remote attackers to induce a denial of service (application crash) and might enable arbitrary code execution. This exploitation occurs when specially crafted Quattro Pro (QPRO) files trigger an excessive looping behavior, leading to a stack-based buffer overflow. Since the vulnerability can be exploited remotely, organizations utilizing affected versions should consider upgrading to newer versions to mitigate risks.
