CVE-2026-8356

Stack buffer overflow in PPT presentation import

Published Jun 15, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 5.4 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
LibreOffice can import presentations in the legacy binary PPT format. A stack buffer overflow existed when importing a colour-replacement record. Two fixed-size colour tables were filled from the file, but the write position was not reset between the two passes over the record, so a file whose combined colour counts exceeded the table size wrote past the end of the tables on the stack. In fixed versions the unused second pass is no longer read into those tables.
