Description

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 24.10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7228-1 advisory.

 Thomas Rinsma discovered that LibreOffice incorrectly handled paths when processing embedded font files.
 If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted LibreOffice file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to create arbitrary files ending with .ttf. (CVE-2024-12425)

 Thomas Rinsma discovered that LibreOffice incorrectly handled certain environment variables and INI file values. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted LibreOffice file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to exfiltrate sensitive information. (CVE-2024-12426)
