How to fix?

Upgrade libreoffice to version 5.4.6.1, 6.0.2.1 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Write. The SwCTBWrapper::Read function in sw/source/filter/ww8/ww8toolbar.cxx in LibreOffice before 5.4.6.1 and 6.x before 6.0.2.1 does not validate a customizations index, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow with write access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted document that contains a certain Microsoft Word record.
