LibreOffice < 5.4.7 or 6.x < 6.0.4 Information Disclosure (macOS)

high Nessus Plugin ID 122856

Language:

Synopsis

An application installed on the remote host is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability.

Description

The version of LibreOffice installed on the remote Windows host is either prior to 5.4.7 or 6.x prior to 6.0.4. It is, therefore, affected by an information disclosure vulnerability that exists in documents containing an embedded SMB link due to automatic initiation of image retrieval. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via an SMB connection embedded in a malicious file, to disclose potentially sensitive information.

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 5.4.7, 6.0.4 and later.
