critical Nessus Plugin ID 77487

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-2331-1 advisory.

 Rohan Durve and James Kettle discovered LibreOffice Calc sometimes allowed for command injection when opening spreadsheets. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted Calc spreadsheet, an attacker could exploit this to run programs as your login.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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

Solution
