AI-suggested

Until an official fix is released, users should exercise caution when opening untrusted OOXML (DOCX) documents in affected versions of LibreOffice (25.8 and 26.2).

Description

LibreOffice can import documents in the OOXML format (DOCX). A heap buffer overflow existed when replaying deferred parser events for a text box element. A handler object was assumed to be of one type and written to at that type's field layout, but it could be a smaller object, so the write landed past the end of the allocation. In fixed versions the type is checked before the write.
