CVE-2015-5213

Desbordamiento de entero en LibreOffice en versiones anteriores a 4.4.5 y Apache OpenOffice en versiones anteriores a 4.1.2 permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (consumo de memoria y caída de la aplicación) o posiblemente ejecutar código arbitrario a través de un archivo DOC extenso, lo que desencadena un desbordamiento de buffer.

An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in the way LibreOffice processed certain Microsoft Word .doc files. By tricking a user into opening a specially crafted Microsoft Word .doc document, an attacker could possibly use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user opening the file.

LibreOffice is an open source, community-developed office productivity suite. It includes key desktop applications, such as a word processor, a spreadsheet, a presentation manager, a formula editor, and a drawing program. LibreOffice replaces OpenOffice and provides a similar but enhanced and extended office suite. It was discovered that LibreOffice did not properly restrict automatic link updates. By tricking a victim into opening specially crafted documents, an attacker could possibly use this flaw to disclose contents of files accessible by the victim.
