CVE-2012-3456  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:12.04 calligra to version 1:2.4.0-0ubuntu2.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream calligra package and not the calligra package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:12.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the read function in filters/words/msword-odf/wv2/src/styles.cpp in the Microsoft import filter in Calligra 2.4.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted ODF style in an ODF document. NOTE: this is the same vulnerability as CVE-2012-3455, but it was SPLIT by the CNA even though Calligra and KOffice share the same codebase.
