Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

- CVE-2018-10583 A LibreOffice document with a linked image, which is on a samba share, will cause LibreOffice to automatically initiate a samba connection to retrieve the image. This is by design. If end users or administrators wish to disable this functionality this can now be disabled via tools->options->security->options->block any links from documents not among the trusted locations.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora update system website.
Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected 1:libreoffice package.
