Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Path Traversal via the processing of a crafted document. An attacker can write arbitrary files to any location on the filesystem that the user has access to. This is only exploitable when opening a malicious document, and it cannot be used to overwrite existing files. However, it can lead to Remote Command Execution on the affected system.
