  - LibreOffice Draw can import PDF documents. A heap buffer overflow existed when importing an encrypted
    document. The length of the decryption key was taken from the document's own encryption dictionary and was
    used to fill a fixed size key buffer without being checked against it, so a length larger than that buffer
    wrote past its end. In fixed versions a declared key length larger than the buffer is rejected.
