Descriptions

LibreOffice before 4.4.6 and 5.x before 5.0.1 and Apache OpenOffice before 4.1.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or execute arbitrary code via an index to a non-existent bookmark in a DOC file.

LibreOffice en versiones anteriores a 4.4.6 y 5.x en versiones anteriores a 5.0.1 y Apache OpenOffice en versiones anteriores a 4.1.2 permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria y caída de la aplicación) o ejecutar código arbitrario a través de un índice a un marcador inexistente en un documento DOC.

It was discovered that LibreOffice did not properly sanity check bookmark indexes. By tricking a user into opening a specially crafted document, an attacker could possibly use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user opening the file.
