LibreOffice < 6.2.5 Multiple Vulnerabilities (macOS)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 127113

Language:

Synopsis

An application installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of LibreOffice installed on the remote macOS host is prior to 6.2.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - An arbitrary script execution vulnerability exists due to a flaw allowing event-based execution of python scripts within a document. Note, LibreLogo must be installed for this vulnerability to be exploitable.
 LibreLogo is frequently bundled with LibreOffice.
 (CVE-2019-9848)

 - An information disclosure vulnerability exists due to how bullet graphics are handled when in 'stealth mode'. An unauthenticated, remote, attacker could utilize this vulnerability to cause LibreOffice to perform remote requests when they would typically not be permitted.
 (CVE-2019-9849)

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 6.2.5 or later.
