Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Access of Resource Using Incompatible Type ('Type Confusion') via the OOXML document processing process. An attacker can cause application unavailability by convincing a user to open a specially crafted document that triggers a heap buffer overflow during the replaying of deferred parser events for text box elements.

Workaround

This vulnerability can be mitigated by exercising caution when opening untrusted or suspicious OOXML documents and processing such documents in a sandboxed environment.
