Debian DSA-4022-1 : libreoffice - security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 104465

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Marcin Noga discovered two vulnerabilities in LibreOffice, which could result in the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed PPT or DOC document is opened.

Solution

Upgrade the libreoffice packages.

For the oldstable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in version 1:4.3.3-2+deb8u9.

These vulnerabilities were fixed in Libreoffice 5.0.2, so the version in the stable distribution (stretch) is not affected.
