Integer overflow in LibreOffice before 4.4.5 and Apache OpenOffice before 4.1.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long DOC file, which triggers a buffer overflow.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - libreoffice: Bookmarks in DOC documents are insufficiently checked causing memory corruption     (CVE-2015-5214)

  - LibreOffice before 4.4.5 and Apache OpenOffice before 4.1.2 uses the stored LinkUpdateMode configuration     information in OpenDocument Format files and templates when handling links, which might allow remote     attackers to obtain sensitive information via a crafted document, which embeds data from local files into     (1) Calc or (2) Writer. (CVE-2015-4551)

  - Integer underflow in LibreOffice before 4.4.5 and Apache OpenOffice before 4.1.2, when the configuration     setting Load printer settings with the document is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted     PrinterSetup data in an ODF document. (CVE-2015-5212)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201611-03 (LibreOffice, OpenOffice: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in both LibreOffice and       OpenOffice.  Please review the referenced CVE&rsquo;s for specific       information regarding each.
  Impact :

    Remote attackers could obtain sensitive information, cause a Denial of       Service condition, or execute arbitrary code.
  Workaround :

    There is no known work around at this time.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201603-05 (LibreOffice, OpenOffice: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities were found in both LibreOffice and OpenOffice       that allow the remote execution of arbitrary code and potential Denial of       Service.  These vulnerabilities may be exploited through multiple vectors       including crafted documents, link handling, printer setup in ODF document       types, DOC file formats, and Calc spreadsheets.  Please review the       referenced CVE&rsquo;s for specific information regarding each.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted file       using the LibreOffice or OpenOffice suite of software.  Execution of       these attacks could possibly result in the execution of arbitrary code       with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known work around at this time.

This update brings LibreOffice to version 5.0.4, a major version update.

It brings lots of new features, bug fixes and also security fixes.

Features as seen on http://www.libreoffice.org/discover/new-features/

  - LibreOffice 5.0 ships an impressive number of new     features for its spreadsheet module, Calc: complex     formulae image cropping, new functions, more powerful     conditional formatting, table addressing and much more.
    Calc's blend of performance and features makes it an     enterprise-ready, heavy duty spreadsheet application     capable of handling all kinds of workload for an     impressive range of use cases

  - New icons, major improvements to menus and sidebar : no     other LibreOffice version has looked that good and     helped you be creative and get things done the right     way. In addition, style management is now more intuitive     thanks to the visualization of styles right in the     interface.

  - LibreOffice 5 ships with numerous improvements to     document import and export filters for MS Office, PDF,     RTF, and more. You can now timestamp PDF documents     generated with LibreOffice and enjoy enhanced document     conversion fidelity all around.

The Pentaho Flow Reporting Engine is now added and used.

Security issues fixed :

  - CVE-2014-8146: The resolveImplicitLevels function in     common/ubidi.c in the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm     implementation in ICU4C in International Components for     Unicode (ICU) before 55.1 did not properly track     directionally isolated pieces of text, which allowed     remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly execute     arbitrary code via crafted text.

  - CVE-2014-8147: The resolveImplicitLevels function in     common/ubidi.c in the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm     implementation in ICU4C in International Components for     Unicode (ICU) before 55.1 used an integer data type that     is inconsistent with a header file, which allowed remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (incorrect malloc     followed by invalid free) or possibly execute arbitrary     code via crafted text.

  - CVE-2015-4551: An arbitrary file disclosure     vulnerability in Libreoffice and Openoffice Calc and     Writer was fixed.

  - CVE-2015-5212: A LibreOffice 'PrinterSetup Length'     integer underflow vulnerability could be used by     attackers supplying documents to execute code as the     user opening the document.

The version of LibreOffice installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 4.4.5. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists due to     the use of stored LinkUpdateMode configuration     information in OpenDocument Format files and templates     when handling links. A remote attacker can exploit this,     via a specially crafted ODF document, to to obtain     sensitive information. (CVE-2015-4551)

  - An integer underflow condition exists in the     ReadJobSetup() function due to improper validation of     user-supplied input when handling printer settings. A     remote attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted     PrinterSetup data in an ODF document, to cause a denial     of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2015-5212)

  - An integer underflow condition exists in the     WW8ScannerBase::OpenPieceTable() function due to     improper validation of user-supplied input when handling     the PieceTable counter. A remote attacker can exploit     this, via a specially crafted .DOC file, to cause a     denial of service condition or the execution of     arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-5213)

Note that Nessus has not attempted to exploit these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2793-1 advisory.

    Federico Scrinzi discovered that LibreOffice incorrectly handled documents inserted into Writer or Calc     via links. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted document, a remote attacker could     possibly obtain the contents of arbitrary files. (CVE-2015-4551)

    It was discovered that LibreOffice incorrectly handled PrinterSetup data stored in ODF files. If a user     were tricked into opening a specially crafted ODF document, a remote attacker could cause LibreOffice to     crash, and possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-5212)

    It was discovered that LibreOffice incorrectly handled the number of pieces in DOC files. If a user were     tricked into opening a specially crafted DOC document, a remote attacker could cause LibreOffice to crash,     and possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-5213)

    It was discovered that LibreOffice incorrectly handled bookmarks in DOC files. If a user were tricked into     opening a specially crafted DOC document, a remote attacker could cause LibreOffice to crash, and possibly     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-5214)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Apache OpenOffice Project reports :

A vulnerability in OpenOffice settings of OpenDocument Format files and templates allows silent access to files that are readable from an user account, over-riding the user's default configuration settings.
Once these files are imported into a maliciously-crafted document, the data can be silently hidden in the document and possibly exported to an external party without being observed. 

The Apache OpenOffice Project reports :

A crafted ODF document can be used to create a buffer that is too small for the amount of data loaded into it, allowing an attacker to cause denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) and possible execution of arbitrary code.

The Apache OpenOffice Project reports :

A crafted Microsoft Word DOC file can be used to specify a document buffer that is too small for the amount of data provided for it.
Failure to detect the discrepancy allows an attacker to cause denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) and possible execution of arbitrary code.

The Apache OpenOffice Project reports :

A crafted Microsoft Word DOC can contain invalid bookmark positions leading to memory corruption when the document is loaded or bookmarks are manipulated. The defect allows an attacker to cause denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) and possible execution of arbitrary code.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in LibreOffice, a full-featured office productivity :

  - CVE-2015-4551     Federico Scrinzi discovered an information leak in the     handling of ODF documents. Quoting from: The     LinkUpdateMode feature controls whether documents     inserted into Writer or Calc via links will either not     get updated, or prompt to update, or automatically     update, when the parent document is loaded. The     configuration of this option was stored in the document.
    That flawed approach enabled documents to be crafted     with links to plausible targets on the victims host     computer. The contents of those automatically inserted     after load links can be concealed in hidden sections and     retrieved by the attacker if the document is saved and     returned to sender, or via http requests if the user has     selected lower security settings for that document.

  - CVE-2015-5212     A buffer overflow in parsing the printer setup     information in ODF documents may result in the execution     of arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2015-5213 / CVE-2015-5214     A buffer overflow and an integer overflow in parsing     Microsoft Word documents may result in the execution of     arbitrary code.

This update brings LibreOffice to version 5.0.2, a major version update.

It brings lots of new features, bugfixes and also security fixes.

Features as seen on http://www.libreoffice.org/discover/new-features/

  - LibreOffice 5.0 ships an impressive number of new     features for its spreadsheet module, Calc: complex     formulae image cropping, new functions, more powerful     conditional formatting, table addressing and much more.
    Calc's blend of performance and features makes it an     enterprise-ready, heavy duty spreadsheet application     capable of handling all kinds of workload for an     impressive range of use cases

  - New icons, major improvements to menus and sidebar : no     other LibreOffice version has looked that good and     helped you be creative and get things done the right     way. In addition, style management is now more intuitive     thanks to the visualization of styles right in the     interface.

  - LibreOffice 5 ships with numerous improvements to     document import and export filters for MS Office, PDF,     RTF, and more. You can now timestamp PDF documents     generated with LibreOffice and enjoy enhanced document     conversion fidelity all around.

The Pentaho Flow Reporting Engine is now added and used.

Security issues fixed :

  - CVE-2014-8146: The resolveImplicitLevels function in     common/ubidi.c in the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm     implementation in ICU4C in International Components for     Unicode (ICU) before 55.1 did not properly track     directionally isolated pieces of text, which allowed     remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly execute     arbitrary code via crafted text.

  - CVE-2014-8147: The resolveImplicitLevels function in     common/ubidi.c in the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm     implementation in ICU4C in International Components for     Unicode (ICU) before 55.1 used an integer data type that     is inconsistent with a header file, which allowed remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (incorrect malloc     followed by invalid free) or possibly execute arbitrary     code via crafted text.

  - CVE-2015-4551: An arbitrary file disclosure     vulnerability in Libreoffice and Openoffice Calc and     Writer was fixed.

  - CVE-2015-1774: The HWP filter in LibreOffice allowed     remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or     possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted HWP     document, which triggered an out-of-bounds write.

  - CVE-2015-5212: A LibreOffice 'PrinterSetup Length'     integer underflow vulnerability could be used by     attackers supplying documents to execute code as the     user opening the document.

  - CVE-2015-5213: A LibreOffice 'Piece Table Counter'     invalid check design error vulnerability allowed     attackers supplying documents to execute code as the     user opening the document.

  - CVE-2015-5214: Multiple Vendor LibreOffice Bookmark     Status Memory Corruption Vulnerability allowed attackers     supplying documents to execute code as the user opening     the document.
