LibreOffice 3.5.x before 3.5.7.2 and 3.6.x before 3.6.1, and OpenOffice.org (OOo), allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via a crafted (1) odt file to vcllo.dll, (2) ODG (Drawing document) file to svxcorelo.dll, (3) PolyPolygon record in a .wmf (Window Meta File) file embedded in a ppt (PowerPoint) file to tllo.dll, or (4) xls (Excel) file to scfiltlo.dll.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2012-4233 is an old document-parsing crash issue in LibreOffice and OpenOffice.org. A malicious ODT, ODG, PPT with embedded WMF, or XLS file could crash the application. The source bundle supports denial of service, not code execution or confirmed active exploitation. Exposure is most likely on legacy desktops, VDI images, document-conversion workers, or file-processing pipelines still running affected LibreOffice or OpenOffice.org versions. Modern patched deployments are unlikely to be exposed based on the version ranges provided. Address during legacy software cleanup unless affected versions process untrusted documents automatically. Escalate priority for mail gateways, upload processors, or shared workstations where crashes could disrupt business workflows. Mitigation focus: Upgrade LibreOffice beyond 3.5.7.2 or 3.6.1 where applicable.; Check OpenOffice.org vendor guidance for fixed or replacement versions.; Remove affected office versions from golden images and document-processing hosts..
