Debian DSA-3482-1 : libreoffice - security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 88846

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

An anonymous contributor working with VeriSign iDefense Labs discovered that libreoffice, a full-featured office productivity suite, did not correctly handle Lotus WordPro files. This would enable an attacker to crash the program, or execute arbitrary code, by supplying a specially crafted LWP file.

Solution

Upgrade the libreoffice packages.

For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 1:3.5.4+dfsg2-0+deb7u6.

For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in version 1:4.3.3-2+deb8u3.
