Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

It was discovered that LibreOffice, an office productivity suite, could try to write to invalid memory areas when importing malformed RTF files. This could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or arbitrary code execution via crafted RTF files.

Solution

Upgrade the libreoffice packages.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 1:3.5.4+dfsg2-0+deb7u3.

For the upcoming stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 1:4.3.3-2.
