Descriptions

LibreOffice before 2017-01-02 has an out-of-bounds write caused by a heap-based buffer overflow related to the tools::Polygon::Insert function in tools/source/generic/poly.cxx.

LibreOffice en versiones anteriores a 02-01-2017 tiene una escritura fuera de límites provocado por un desbordamiento de búfer basado en memoria dinámica en relación con la función tools::Polygon::Insert en tools/source/generic/poly.cxx

An out-of-bounds write flaw was found in the way Libreoffice rendered certain documents containing Polygon images. By tricking a user into opening a specially crafted LibreOffice file, an attacker could possibly use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user opening the file.
