Summary
LibreOffice can read CFF fonts, which may be embedded in documents. A stack buffer overflow exists when reading the hints of a glyph because the number of hints is checked against the wrong bound. In fixed versions, the hint count is checked against the actual capacity of the array.
Risk Assessment
Opening a malicious document with an embedded CFF font could cause a stack buffer overflow, leading to a crash or potential code execution. This may compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Recommendation
Update LibreOffice to a version that includes the fix checking the hint count against the actual array capacity. Do not open documents from untrusted sources.

- CVE-2026-63279Medium
LibreOffice can import PICT images, which may be embedded in documents. An out-of-bounds read occurs when importing an image that uses a colour palette because the palette index is not checked against the number of entries. In fixed versions, the palette index is limited to the entries present.
Original NVD description (English source)
LibreOffice can read CFF fonts, which may be embedded in documents. A stack buffer overflow existed when reading the hints of a glyph. The number of hints was checked against the wrong bound, so a glyph declaring more hints than the array can hold wrote past its end. In fixed versions the hint count is checked against the capacity the array really has.
