GLSA-202311-15 : LibreOffice: Multiple Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 186284

Language:

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202311-15 (LibreOffice: Multiple Vulnerabilities)

 - Improper Validation of Array Index vulnerability in the spreadsheet component of The Document Foundation LibreOffice allows an attacker to craft a spreadsheet document that will cause an array index underflow when loaded. In the affected versions of LibreOffice certain malformed spreadsheet formulas, such as AGGREGATE, could be created with less parameters passed to the formula interpreter than it expected, leading to an array index underflow, in which case there is a risk that arbitrary code could be executed.
 This issue affects: The Document Foundation LibreOffice 7.4 versions prior to 7.4.6; 7.5 versions prior to 7.5.1. (CVE-2023-0950)

 - 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. (CVE-2023-2255)

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

Solution

All LibreOffice binary users should upgrade to the latest version:

 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose >=app-office/libreoffice-bin-7.5.3.2 All LibreOffice users should upgrade to the latest version:

 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose >=app-office/libreoffice-7.5.3.2
