LibreOffice < 5.4.5 or 6.x < 6.0.1 Multiple Vulnerabilities

critical Nessus Plugin ID 122588

Language:

Synopsis

An application installed on the remote host is affected by an arbitrary code execution vulnerability.

Description

The version of LibreOffice installed on the remote Windows host is either 5.x prior to 5.4.5 or 6.x prior to 6.0.1. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities:

- An arbitrary file read vulnerability exists in the COM.MICROSOFT.WEBSERVICE function due to improper validation of a URL input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted file, to read arbitrary files and disclose sensitive information.
(CVE-2018-6871)

- A use after free vulnerability exists in the StgSmallStrm class due to the use of a short data type. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted file that uses the structured storage ole2 wrapper, to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-10119)

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

Solution

Upgrade to LibreOffice version 5.4.5, 6.0.1 and later.
