LibreOffice before 4.4.6 and 5.x before 5.0.1 and Apache OpenOffice before 4.1.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or execute arbitrary code via an index to a non-existent bookmark in a DOC file.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
