LibreOffice < 4.4.5 Multiple Vulnerabilities (Mac OS X)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 86902

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of LibreOffice installed on the remote Mac OS X host is prior to 4.4.5. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- An information disclosure vulnerability exists due to the use of stored LinkUpdateMode configuration information in OpenDocument Format files and templates when handling links. A remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted ODF document, to to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2015-4551)

- An integer underflow condition exists in the ReadJobSetup() function due to improper validation of user-supplied input when handling printer settings. A remote attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted PrinterSetup data in an ODF document, to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.
(CVE-2015-5212)

- An integer underflow condition exists in the WW8ScannerBase::OpenPieceTable() function due to improper validation of user-supplied input when handling the PieceTable counter. A remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted .DOC file, to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-5213)

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 4.4.5 (4.4.5.2) or later.
