Descriptions

The lwp filter in LibreOffice before 5.0.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted LotusWordPro (lwp) document.

El filtro lwp en LibreOffice en versiones anteriores a 5.0.4 permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria) o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado a través de un documento LotusWordPro (lwp) manipulado.

Multiple flaws were found in the Lotus Word Pro (LWP) document format parser in LibreOffice. By tricking a user into opening a specially crafted LWP document, an attacker could possibly use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user opening the file.
