LibreOffice < 5.0.5 Multiple RCE (Mac OS X)

high Nessus Plugin ID 88984

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of LibreOffice installed on the remote Mac OS X host is prior to 5.0.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- A remote code execution vulnerability exists due to improper validation of user-supplied input when handling LotusWordPro (LWP) documents. A remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted LWP document, to corrupt memory, resulting in a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0794)

- A remote code execution vulnerability exists due to improper validation of user-supplied input when handling LwpTocSuperLayout records. A remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted LwpTocSuperLayout record in a LotusWordPro (LWP) document, to corrupt memory, resulting in a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0795)

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 5.0.5 or later.
