LibreOffice < 3.5.7 / 3.6.1 Multiple Denial of Service Vulnerabilities (Mac OS X)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 73333

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host contains an application that is affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities.

Description

A version of LibreOffice prior to 3.5.7 / 3.6.1 is installed on the remote Mac OS X host. It is, therefore, reportedly affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities in various import filters:

- Excel (.xls)

- Windows Meta File (.wmf)

- Open Document Format (.odg / .odt)

This could allow a remote attacker with a specially crafted file to crash the application upon loading.

Note that Nessus has not attempted to exploit these issues, but has instead relied only on the self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to LibreOffice version 3.5.7 / 3.6.1 or later.
