It initially appeared that this flaw may be exploitable similar to
CVE-2010-3452, where an OOB Read caused Arbitrary Code Execution. However in
the case of this particular flaw, the junk data read is just parsed into an
internal representation of properties and the maximum harm this should
cause in
application crash (Denial Of Service).

Timeline:
- Reported to securityteam@openoffice.org on 25-July-2011
- Recieved a reply (with tdf-security@lists.documentfoundation.org
copied) on
the same date
- Release date changed with a few delays in between
- Release on 5-Oct-2011


Statement:

This issue results in an OOB read which is not exploitable for arbitrary
code
execution and can simply cause a crash. We do not consider this as a
security
issue.
