Discussion

LibWPD Library Multiple Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities

The libwpd library is prone to multiple buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because it fails to adequately check boundaries on user-supplied input.

A successful exploit could let a remote attacker execute arbitrary code in the context of an application using the affected library.

This issue affects libwpd 0.8.7; other versions prior to 0.8.9 may also be affected.
