Summary

A heap use-after-free occurs when importing blank-width characters of an ODF number format. The position read from the document was not checked against the format string length, allowing out-of-bounds memory access.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could exploit this vulnerability for remote code execution or data integrity compromise in applications handling ODF format.

Recommendation

Update software using the ODF library to a version that validates position bounds before use.

Original NVD description (English source)

A heap use-after-free existed when importing the blank-width characters of an ODF number format. A position value read from the document was not checked against the length of the format-code string, so a malformed number format could be processed against memory outside that string. In fixed versions the position is bounds-checked before use.
