Ubuntu 14.04 LTS : LibreOffice vulnerabilities (USN-2899-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 88805

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

It was discovered that LibreOffice incorrectly handled LWP document files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted LWP document, a remote attacker could cause LibreOffice to crash, and possibly execute arbitrary code.

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
