LibreOffice < 4.2.8 / 4.3.5 RTF File Handling Code Execution

high Nessus Plugin ID 80832

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host contains an application that is affected by an invalid memory write vulnerability.

Description

The version of LibreOffice installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 4.2.7 or 4.3.x prior to 4.3.5. It is, therefore, affected by an invalid memory write vulnerability. An attacker, using a specially crafted Rich Text Format (RTF) file, can exploit this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.

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 4.2.8 (4.2.8.2), 4.3.5 (4.3.5.2) or later.
