PARTIAL Summary
WP1StylesListener.cpp, WP5StylesListener.cpp, and WP42StylesListener.cpp in libwpd 0.10.1 mishandle iterators, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read in the WPXTableList class in WPXTable.cpp). This vulnerability can be triggered in LibreOffice before 5.3.7. It may lead to suffering a remote attack against a LibreOffice application.
Vulnerable Configurations
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Overread Buffers An adversary attacks a target by providing input that causes an application to read beyond the boundary of a defined buffer. This typically occurs when a value influencing where to start or stop reading is set to reflect positions outside of the valid memory location of the buffer. This type of attack may result in exposure of sensitive information, a system crash, or arbitrary code execution.

NASL family SuSE Local Security Checks NASL id SUSE_SU-2017-2931-1.NASL description This update for libwpd fixes the following issues: Security issue fixed : - CVE-2017-14226: WP1StylesListener.cpp, WP5StylesListener.cpp, and WP42StylesListener.cpp in libwpd 0.10.1 mishandle iterators, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read in the WPXTableList class in WPXTable.cpp). This vulnerability can be triggered in LibreOffice before 5.3.7. It may lead to suffering a remote attack against a LibreOffice application. (bnc#1058025) Bugfixes : - Fix various crashes, leaks and hangs when reading damaged files found by oss-fuzz. - Fix crash when NULL is passed as input stream. - Use symbol visibility on Linux. The library only exports public functions now. - Avoid infinite loop. (libwpd#3) - Remove bashism. (libwpd#5) - Fix various crashes and hangs when reading broken files found with the help of american-fuzzy-lop. - Make --help output of all command line tools more help2man-friendly. - Miscellaneous fixes and cleanups. - Generate manpages for the libwpd-tools Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.
