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.

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

A version of LibreOffice prior to 3.5.7 / 3.6.1 is installed on the remote Mac OS X 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.
