CVE-2026-63272 PUBLISHED

Heap buffer overflow in WMF text record import

Assigner: Document Fdn.
Reserved: 16.07.2026 Published: 22.09.2026 Updated: 22.09.2026

LibreOffice can import WMF graphics, which may be embedded in documents. A heap buffer overflow existed when importing a text record that carries its own character advance widths. The count of advance values and the length of the text were read separately from the file and were not required to agree, so drawing the text walked the advance array by character position and ran past its end when the array was the shorter of the two. In fixed versions an advance array shorter than its text is ignored.
