Description
LibreOffice Calc compiles cell formulas when opening a spreadsheet. A heap buffer overflow existed when compiling a very long formula made up of many opening tokens. The array that tracks nesting depth was allocated one element too small for that worst case, so such a formula wrote one element past its end. In fixed versions the array is sized to hold the largest possible nesting.
Weaknesses (CWE)
- CWE-787 — Out-of-bounds Write
- CWE-193 — Off-by-one Error
- CWE-131 — Incorrect Calculation of Buffer Size
