CVE-2026-6047 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.4/10 on the CVSS scale. LibreOffice can import documents in the OOXML format (DOCX). A heap buffer overflow existed when replaying deferred parser events for a text box element. EPSS estimates a 0.12% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Description

LibreOffice can import documents in the OOXML format (DOCX). A heap buffer overflow existed when replaying deferred parser events for a text box element. A handler object was assumed to be of one type and written to at that type's field layout, but it could be a smaller object, so the write landed past the end of the allocation. In fixed versions the type is checked before the write.
