CVE-2026-6047

Heap buffer overflow via parser type confusion

Published Jun 15, 2026 · Updated Jun 15, 2026

Type confusion in LibreOffice 25.8 before 25.8.7 and 26.2 before 26.2.3 allows attackers to corrupt heap memory via a crafted DOCX. Deferred text-box parser events retain a handler that is treated as a larger incompatible type, so a field write lands beyond the smaller heap allocation. Processing requires LibreOffice to open the crafted file locally, and the published record does not claim arbitrary code execution.
