Improper access control in editor components of The Document Foundation LibreOffice allowed an attacker to craft a document that would cause external links to be loaded without prompt. In the affected versions of LibreOffice documents that used "floating frames" linked to external files, would load the contents of those frames without prompting the user for permission to do so. This was inconsistent with the treatment of other linked content in LibreOffice. This issue affects: The Document Foundation LibreOffice 7.4 versions prior to 7.4.7; 7.5 versions prior to 7.5.3.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 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: Array index underflow in Calc formula parsing (CVE-2023-0950)

  - Apache OpenOffice versions before 4.1.14 may be configured to add an empty entry to the Java class path.
    This may lead to run arbitrary Java code from the current directory. (CVE-2022-38745)

The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the libreoffice-7.1.8.1-11.el9 build changelog.

  - Improper Validation of Array Index vulnerability in the spreadsheet component of The Document Foundation     LibreOffice allows an attacker to craft a spreadsheet document that will cause an array index underflow     when loaded. In the affected versions of LibreOffice certain malformed spreadsheet formulas, such as     AGGREGATE, could be created with less parameters passed to the formula interpreter than it expected,     leading to an array index underflow, in which case there is a risk that arbitrary code could be executed.
    This issue affects: The Document Foundation LibreOffice 7.4 versions prior to 7.4.6; 7.5 versions prior to     7.5.1. (CVE-2023-0950)
