This condition arises when a piece of memory is freed and then used again, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ameeba.com\/blog\/cve-2025-30376-heap-based-buffer-overflow-in-microsoft-office-excel-leading-to-potential-system-compromise\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"91950\">leading to potential<\/a> corruption of the memory.

If patches are not yet available or cannot be applied immediately, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can provide temporary mitigation.
