Synopsis

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

Description

Nils Emmerich discovered that LibreOffice incorrectly handled LibreLogo scripts. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted document, a remote attacker could cause LibreOffice to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-9848)

Matei 'Mal' Badanoiu discovered that LibreOffice incorrectly handled stealth mode. Contrary to expectations, bullet graphics could be retrieved from remote locations when running in stealth mode.
(CVE-2019-9849).
