Integer overflow in LibreOffice before 4.4.5 and Apache OpenOffice before 4.1.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long DOC file, which triggers a buffer overflow.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2015-5213 is a document-parsing flaw in older LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice releases. A maliciously long DOC file could crash the application through memory corruption and may allow arbitrary code execution. Business risk is highest where users or automated services open untrusted Microsoft Word documents. Exposure is likely on endpoints, VDI images, document intake workflows, and server-side conversion services running LibreOffice before 4.4.5 or Apache OpenOffice before 4.1.2. Systems that only store DOC files without opening or converting them are less directly exposed. Prioritize remediation where office suites or document converters handle external files. The flaw is old, but possible code execution from a document parser makes lingering vulnerable installations a practical risk, especially in email-heavy and document-intake environments. Mitigation focus: Upgrade LibreOffice to 4.4.5 or later where affected.; Upgrade Apache OpenOffice to 4.1.2 or later where affected.; Apply relevant distribution vendor updates for Ubuntu, Debian, Red Hat, Gentoo, or Oracle Linux..
