Description
LibreOffice is prone to an overflow condition. This issue is triggered when a boundary error occurs during the duplication of a certain tag in an XML manifest file, which will result in a heap-based buffer overflow. With a specially crafted ODF file, a context-dependent attacker can potentially execute arbitrary code.
Upgrade to version 3.5.5 or 3.6.0 or higher, as they have been reported to fix this vulnerability. An upgrade is required as there are no known workarounds.
