Vulnerability Data

Improper Validation of Array Index vulnerability in the spreadsheet component of The Document Foundation LibreOffice allows an attacker to craft a spreadsheet document that will cause an array index underflow when loaded. In the affected versions of LibreOffice certain malformed…

more

spreadsheet formulas, such as AGGREGATE, could be created with less parameters passed to the formula interpreter than it expected, leading to an array index underflow, in which case there is a risk that arbitrary code could be executed. This issue affects: The Document Foundation LibreOffice 7.4 versions prior to 7.4.6; 7.5 versions prior to 7.5.1.

finds

Security testing in development can detect out-of-bounds array access but does not prevent the weakness by itself.

prevents

Secure development lifecycle mandates input validation and bounds checking that directly prevents improper array indexing.

prevents

Application security requirements include validation of untrusted input used for indexing or addressing memory structures.

prevents

Secure architecture principles encourage defensive coding patterns that reduce index-related vulnerabilities.

prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly require bounds checking and validation of array indices derived from untrusted data.
