LibreOffice < 5.0.5 Multiple RCE (Mac OS X)

high Nessus Plugin ID 88984

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.
