Multiple vulnerabilies has been discovered and corrected in libreoffice :

Stack-based buffer overflow in the Lotus Word Pro import filter in LibreOffice before 3.3.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted .lwp file (CVE-2011-2685).

oowriter in OpenOffice.org 3.3.0 and LibreOffice before 3.4.3 allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted DOC file that triggers an out-of-bounds read in the DOC sprm parser (CVE-2011-2713).

This update brings a new LibreOffice version 3.4.3 release linked against stdc++ and gcc_s standard libraries available in the Mandriva 2011 and solves installing conflicts with libstdc++ (#64224).

The package clipart-openclipart was dropped from the main repository in the Mandriva 2011. However it is not required having clipart-openclipart installed in order to install libreoffice-openclipart as the LibreOffice still provides some cliparts directly in that package (#63634).

This update fixes some OpenOffice.org leftovers in some packages description replacing that by LibreOffice (#64658).

This update brings new LibreOffice l10n locale packages: Assanese as, Bengali bn, Dzongkha dz, Farsi fa, Irish ga, Galician gl, Gujarati gu, Croatian hr, Kannada kn, Lithuanian lt, Latvian lv, Maithili mai, Malayalam ml, Marathi mr, Ndebele nr, Northern Shoto nso, Oriya or, Punjabi pa_IN, Romanian ro, Secwepemctsin sh, Sinhalese si, Serbian sr, Swati ss, Shoto st, Telugu te, Thai th, Tswana tn, Tsonga ts, Ukrainian uk, Venda ve and Xhosa xh. Help packages are also provided for: bn, dz, gl, gu, hr, si and uk.

Additionally the gaupol packages are being provided to solve a build dependcy of some of the supporting tools already added into 2011.

The updated packages have been upgraded to LibreOffice version 3.4.3 where these isssues has been resolved.

A stack-based buffer overflow was discovered in the Lotus Word Pro import filter in OpenOffice.org. The default compiler options for affected releases should reduce the vulnerability to a denial of service. (CVE-2011-2685)

Huzaifa Sidhpurwala discovered that OpenOffice.org could be made to crash if it opened a specially crafted Word document. (CVE-2011-2713)

Integer overflows were discovered in the graphics loading code of several different image types. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, an attacker could cause OpenOffice.org to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2012-1149)

Sven Jacobi discovered an integer overflow when processing Escher graphics records. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted PowerPoint file, an attacker could cause OpenOffice.org to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2012-2334).

The version of LibreOffice installed on the remote host is earlier than 3.3.3 / 3.4.0.  As such, it is reportedly affected by a stack buffer overflow in the Lotus Word Pro import filter that arises from its failure to properly handle object ids in '.lwp' documents. 

If an attacker can trick a user on the affected system into importing a specially crafted .lwp document into the application, he could leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code subject to the user's privileges.
