LibreOffice before 4.3.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid write operation and crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted RTF file.

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

  - LibreOffice before 4.3.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid write operation and     crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted RTF file. (CVE-2014-9093)

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

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201603-05 (LibreOffice, OpenOffice: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities were found in both LibreOffice and OpenOffice       that allow the remote execution of arbitrary code and potential Denial of       Service.  These vulnerabilities may be exploited through multiple vectors       including crafted documents, link handling, printer setup in ODF document       types, DOC file formats, and Calc spreadsheets.  Please review the       referenced CVE&rsquo;s for specific information regarding each.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted file       using the LibreOffice or OpenOffice suite of software.  Execution of       these attacks could possibly result in the execution of arbitrary code       with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known work around at this time.

This update for LibreOffice and some library dependencies (cmis-client, libetonyek, libmwaw, libodfgen, libpagemaker, libreoffice-share-linker, mdds, libwps) fixes the following issues :

This update brings LibreOffice to version 5.0.4, a major version update.

It brings lots of new features, bug fixes and also security fixes.

Features as seen on http://www.libreoffice.org/discover/new-features/

  - LibreOffice 5.0 ships an impressive number of new     features for its spreadsheet module, Calc: complex     formulae image cropping, new functions, more powerful     conditional formatting, table addressing and much more.
    Calc's blend of performance and features makes it an     enterprise-ready, heavy duty spreadsheet application     capable of handling all kinds of workload for an     impressive range of use cases

  - New icons, major improvements to menus and sidebar : no     other LibreOffice version has looked that good and     helped you be creative and get things done the right     way. In addition, style management is now more intuitive     thanks to the visualization of styles right in the     interface.

  - LibreOffice 5 ships with numerous improvements to     document import and export filters for MS Office, PDF,     RTF, and more. You can now timestamp PDF documents     generated with LibreOffice and enjoy enhanced document     conversion fidelity all around.

The Pentaho Flow Reporting Engine is now added and used.

Security issues fixed :

  - CVE-2014-8146: The resolveImplicitLevels function in     common/ubidi.c in the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm     implementation in ICU4C in International Components for     Unicode (ICU) before 55.1 did not properly track     directionally isolated pieces of text, which allowed     remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly execute     arbitrary code via crafted text.

  - CVE-2014-8147: The resolveImplicitLevels function in     common/ubidi.c in the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm     implementation in ICU4C in International Components for     Unicode (ICU) before 55.1 used an integer data type that     is inconsistent with a header file, which allowed remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (incorrect malloc     followed by invalid free) or possibly execute arbitrary     code via crafted text.

  - CVE-2015-4551: An arbitrary file disclosure     vulnerability in Libreoffice and Openoffice Calc and     Writer was fixed.

  - CVE-2015-5212: A LibreOffice 'PrinterSetup Length'     integer underflow vulnerability could be used by     attackers supplying documents to execute code as the     user opening the document.

  - CVE-2015-5213: A LibreOffice 'Piece Table Counter'     invalid check design error vulnerability allowed     attackers supplying documents to execute code as the     user opening the document.

  - CVE-2015-5214: Multiple Vendor LibreOffice Bookmark     Status Memory Corruption Vulnerability allowed attackers     supplying documents to execute code as the user opening     the document.

This libreoffice update fixes the following security and non security issues :

  - Version bump to 4.3.5 release :

  - Various small fixes

  - Fix for CVE-2014-9093 bnc#907636

  - Remove dangling symlinks from previous versions     bnc#884942

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2578-1 advisory.

    Alexander Cherepanov discovered that LibreOffice incorrectly handled certain RTF files. If a user were     tricked into opening a specially crafted RTF document, a remote attacker could cause LibreOffice to crash,     and possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-9093)

    It was discovered that LibreOffice incorrectly handled certain HWP files. If a user were tricked into     opening a specially crafted HWP document, a remote attacker could cause LibreOffice to crash, and possibly     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-1774)

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.

It was discovered that LibreOffice, an office productivity suite, could try to write to invalid memory areas when importing malformed RTF files. This could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or arbitrary code execution via crafted RTF files.

The version of LibreOffice installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 4.2.7 or 4.3.x prior to 4.3.5. It is, therefore, affected by an invalid memory write vulnerability. An attacker, using a specially crafted Rich Text Format (RTF) file, can exploit this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Note that Nessus has not attempted to exploit this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of LibreOffice installed on the remote Mac OS X host is prior to 4.2.8 or 4.3.x prior to 4.3.5. It is, therefore, affected by an invalid memory write vulnerability. An attacker, using a specially crafted Rich Text Format (RTF) file, can exploit this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Note that Nessus has not attempted to exploit this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

This libreoffice update fixes the following security and non secuirty issues :

  - Fix for CVE-2014-9093 bnc#907636.

  - Fix typo %(libdir) -> %(_libdir)

  - Remove dangling symlinks from previous versions     bnc#884942.

  - Fix build with boost 1.56

- Fix for various crashes on parsing malformed RTF files

    - Fix interactive table resizing in Impress
