Synopsis

The remote Scientific Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

A flaw was found in the way the LibreOffice HWP (Hangul Word Processor) file filter processed certain HWP documents. An attacker able to trick a user into opening a specially crafted HWP document could possibly use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user opening that document. (CVE-2015-1774)

The libreoffice packages have been upgraded to upstream version 4.2.8.2, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version, including :

- OpenXML interoperability has been improved.

- This update adds additional statistics functions to the Calc application, thus improving interoperability with Microsoft Excel and its 'Analysis ToolPak' add-in.

- Various performance improvements have been implemented in Calc.

- This update adds new import filters for importing files from the Appple Keynote and Abiword applications.

- The export filter for the MathML markup language has been improved.

- This update adds a new start screen that includes thumbnails of recently opened documents.

- A visual clue is now displayed in the Slide Sorter window for slides with transitions or animations.

- This update improves trend lines in charts.

- LibreOffice now supports BCP 47 language tags.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
