When loading a document with Apache Open Office 4.1.5 and earlier with smaller end line termination than the operating system uses, the defect occurs. In this case OpenOffice runs into an Arithmetic Overflow at a string length calculation.
The product performs a calculation that generates incorrect or unintended results that are later used in security-critical decisions or resource management.
