Descriptions

The get_app_path function in desktop/unx/source/start.c in LibreOffice through 6.0.5 mishandles the realpath function in certain environments such as FreeBSD libc, which might allow attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact if LibreOffice is automatically launched during web browsing with pathnames controlled by a remote web site.

La función get_app_path en desktop/unx/source/start.c en LibreOffice hasta la versión 6.0.5 gestiona de manera incorrecta la función realpath en ciertos entornos, como FreeBSD libc, lo que podría permitir que atacantes provoquen una denegación de servicio (desbordamiento de búfer y cierre inesperado de la aplicación) o, posiblemente, otro tipo de impacto sin especificar si se inicia automáticamente LibreOffice durante la navegación web con nombres de ruta controlados por un sitio web remoto.
