LibreOffice 4.x < 4.2.6-secfix (4.2.6.3) Multiple Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 80078

Synopsis

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

Description

A version of LibreOffice is installed on the remote Windows host that is 4.x prior to 4.2.6-secfix (4.2.6.3). It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- An input-validation error exists related to handling Calc spreadsheets that allows arbitrary command execution. (CVE-2014-3524)

- An input-validation error exists related to 'Update Links' prompt handling that allows information disclosure via improperly included OLE2 previews.
(CVE-2014-3575)

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

Solution

Upgrade to LibreOffice version 4.2.6-secfix (4.2.6.3) or later.
