CVE-2026-8358 · Severity: info · CVSS 5.4 · Published 2026-06-15

LibreOffice Calc, a popular spreadsheet application, is vulnerable to a memory corruption issue when opening specially crafted files. An attacker could create a spreadsheet that reuses internal identifiers for tracked changes, causing the software to crash or potentially execute unauthorized code. This requires a user to manually open a malicious document provided by an attacker.

Vendors: [The Document Foundation](https://junglewise.ai/threats/vendors/the-document-foundation).

## Technical details

A heap buffer overflow exists in LibreOffice Calc's tracked changes import mechanism. The vulnerability is caused by type confusion when a document reuses the same change identifier for two different types of changes. The importer incorrectly treats a change object as a larger type than originally allocated, leading to an out-of-bounds write (CWE-787) on the heap. Exploitation requires a user to open a maliciously crafted spreadsheet. In fixed versions, the importer has been updated to reject records with duplicate identifiers.
