Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS : LibreOffice vulnerabilities (USN-3273-1)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 99965

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3273-1 advisory.

 It was discovered that LibreOffice incorrectly handled EMF image files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted EMF image file, a remote attacker could cause LibreOffice to crash, and possibly execute arbitrary code.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
