LibreOffice 7.4 < 7.4.7 / 7.5 < 7.5.3 Array Index UnderFlow (macOS)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 176671

Language:

Synopsis

An array index underFlow vulnerability exist in Document Foundation LibreOffice versions prior to 7.2.7 or 7.3.3.

Description

Improper access control in editor components of The Document Foundation LibreOffice allowed an attacker to craft a document that would cause external links to be loaded without prompt. In the affected versions of LibreOffice documents that used 'floating frames' linked to external files, would load the contents of those frames without prompting the user for permission to do so. This was inconsistent with the treatment of other linked content in LibreOffice. This issue affects: The Document Foundation LibreOffice 7.4 versions prior to 7.4.7; 7.5 versions prior to 7.5.3.

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 7.4.7, 7.5.3 or later.
