Description

LibreOffice Calc can import tracked changes from a spreadsheet document. A heap buffer overflow existed when a document reused the same change identifier for two different kinds of change. The importer then treated one change object as a different, larger type and wrote past the end of its allocation. In fixed versions records with a duplicate identifier are rejected.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in LibreOffice Calc's ability to import tracked changes from a spreadsheet document. Specifically, a heap buffer overflow occurs when a document reuses the same change identifier for two different kinds of changes. The importer mistakenly treats one change object as a different, larger type and writes beyond the allocated memory buffer. This issue has been fixed by rejecting records with duplicate identifiers.

Impact Analysis

The heap buffer overflow vulnerability can lead to memory corruption, which may cause the application to crash or behave unpredictably. In some cases, this could be exploited by an attacker to execute arbitrary code or escalate privileges, potentially compromising the security of the system running LibreOffice Calc.

Mitigation Strategies

To mitigate this vulnerability, you should update LibreOffice to a fixed version where records with duplicate change identifiers are rejected, preventing the heap buffer overflow.
