RHEL 7 : libreoffice (Unpatched Vulnerability)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 199361

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat 7 host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities that will not be patched.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

 - libreoffice: heap-based buffer overflow related to the ReadJPEG function (CVE-2017-8358)

 - LibreOffice before 4.3.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid write operation and crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted RTF file. (CVE-2014-9093)

 - LibreOffice has a 'stealth mode' in which only documents from locations deemed 'trusted' are allowed to retrieve remote resources. This mode is not the default mode, but can be enabled by users who want to disable LibreOffice's ability to include remote resources within a document. A flaw existed where remote graphic links loaded from docx documents were omitted from this protection prior to version 6.4.4. This issue affects: The Document Foundation LibreOffice versions prior to 6.4.4. (CVE-2020-12802)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

Solution

The vendor has acknowledged the vulnerabilities but no solution has been provided. Refer to the vendor for remediation guidance.
