RHEL 7 : libreoffice (RHSA-2017:1975)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 102107

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing a security update for libreoffice.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2017:1975 advisory.

LibreOffice is an open source, community-developed office productivity suite. It includes key desktop applications, such as a word processor, a spreadsheet, a presentation manager, a formula editor, and a drawing program. LibreOffice replaces OpenOffice and provides a similar but enhanced and extended office suite.

Security Fix(es):

* An out-of-bounds write flaw was found in the way Libreoffice rendered certain documents containing Polygon images. By tricking a user into opening a specially crafted LibreOffice file, an attacker could possibly use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user opening the file.
(CVE-2017-7870)

Additional Changes:

For detailed information on changes in this release, see the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4 Release Notes linked from the References section.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Solution

Update the RHEL libreoffice package based on the guidance in RHSA-2017:1975.
