It was discovered that LibreOffice, an office productivity suite, could try to write to invalid memory areas when importing malformed RTF files. This could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or arbitrary code execution via crafted RTF files.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 1:3.5.4+dfsg2-0+deb7u3.

For the upcoming stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 1:4.3.3-2.
