LibreOffice 4.3.x < 4.3.3 Impress Remote RCE

high Nessus Plugin ID 80081

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host contains an application that is affected by a use-after-free memory vulnerability.

Description

A version of LibreOffice is installed on the remote Windows host that is 4.3.x prior to 4.3.3. It is, therefore, affected by a use-after-free vulnerability related to the Impress Remote socket manager that allows denial of service attacks or arbitrary code execution by means of a specially crafted TCP request that causes already freed memory to be dereferenced.

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

Solution

Upgrade to LibreOffice version 4.3.3 (4.3.3.2) or later.
