Ubuntu 12.04 LTS : libreoffice vulnerability (USN-3046-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 92750

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security-related patch.

Description

Yves Younan and Richard Johnson discovered that LibreOffice incorrectly handled presentation files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted presentation file, a remote attacker could cause LibreOffice to crash, and possibly execute arbitrary code.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected libreoffice-core package.
