A specially crafted document can cause Atlantis to skip initializing a value representing the number of columns of a table. Later, the application will use this as a length within a loop that will write to a pointer on the heap. Due to this value being controlled, a buffer overflow will occur, which can lead to code execution under the context of the application. An attacker must convince a victim to open a document in order to trigger this vulnerability." } ] }, "problemtype": { "problemtype_data": [ { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "heap-based buffer overflow" } ] } ] }, "references": { "reference_data": [ { "name": "https://talosintelligence.com/vulnerability_reports/TALOS-2018-0652", "refsource": "MISC", "url": "https://talosintelligence.com/vulnerability_reports/TALOS-2018-0652" } ] }, "impact": { "cvss": { "baseScore": 8.8, "baseSeverity": "High", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H", "version": "3.0" } } }
