    (CVE-2012-4233) Security Issue refernce :

  - CVE-2012-4233

High-Tech Bridge SA Security Research Lab discovered multiple NULL pointer dereferences based vulnerabilities in OpenOffice.org which could cause application crash or even arbitrary code execution using specially crafted files. Affected file types are LWP (Lotus Word Pro), ODG, PPT (PowerPoint 2003) and XLS (Excel 2003).

A version of LibreOffice prior to 3.5.7 / 3.6.1 is installed on the remote Windows host. It is, therefore, reportedly affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities in various import filters:

  - Excel (.xls)

  - Windows Meta File (.wmf)

  - Open Document Format (.odg / .odt)

This could allow a remote attacker with a specially crafted file to crash the application upon loading.

Note that Nessus has not attempted to exploit these issues, but has instead relied only on the self-reported version number.

  - Some NULL pointer dereferences were fixed.
    (CVE-2012-4233)

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - LibreOffice 3.5.x before 3.5.7.2 and 3.6.x before 3.6.1, and OpenOffice.org (OOo), allows remote attackers     to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via a crafted (1) odt file to vcllo.dll, (2) ODG     (Drawing document) file to svxcorelo.dll, (3) PolyPolygon record in a .wmf (Window Meta File) file     embedded in a ppt (PowerPoint) file to tllo.dll, or (4) xls (Excel) file to scfiltlo.dll. (CVE-2012-4233)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
