LibreOffice < 6.1.6, 6.2.x < 6.2.3 Hyperlink Processing Vulnerability (Windows)

high Nessus Plugin ID 125223

Language:

Synopsis

An application installed on the remote Windows host is affected by a hyperlink processing vulnerability.

Description

The version of LibreOffice installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 6.1.6 or 6.2.x prior to 6.2.3. It is, therefore, affected by a hyperlink processing vulnerability. At attacker may exploit this issue by creating hyperlinks pointing to an executable on the target user's file system. This hyperlink is unconditionally launched as there is no judgement made on whether the target of the hyperlink is an executable file.

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 6.1.6 / 6.2.3 or later.
