Details:

It was discovered that LibreOffice did not properly validate the number of
parameters passed to the formula interpreter, leading to an array index
underflow attack. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted
spreadsheet file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to execute
arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-0950)

Amel Bouziane-Leblond discovered that LibreOffice did not prompt the user
before loading the host document inside an IFrame. If a user were tricked
into opening a specially crafted input file, an attacker could possibly use
this issue to cause information disclosure or execute arbitrary code.
