NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libwpd package and not the libwpd package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

The WPXContentListener::_closeTableRow function in WPXContentListener.cpp in libwpd 0.8.8, as used by OpenOffice.org (OOo) before 3.4, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted Wordperfect .WPD document that causes a negative array index to be used. NOTE: some sources report this issue as an integer overflow.
