CVSS v3.1
Official Description
Integer overflow in the WP6GeneralTextPacket::_readContents function in WordPerfect Document importer/exporter (libwpd) before 0.8.9 allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted WordPerfect file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2007-0002.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2007-1466 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
