CVE-2026-91752
GNU libextractor before 1.15 contains a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the process_star_office function that sizes a variable-length stack array from attacker-controlled OLE2 stream data. Attackers can craft malicious StarOffice documents that allocate up to 4 MB on the stack, causing stack overflow and crashing any application extracting metadata from the document.
