Language:

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202212-04 (LibreOffice: Arbitrary Code Execution)

 - LibreOffice supports Office URI Schemes to enable browser integration of LibreOffice with MS SharePoint server. An additional scheme 'vnd.libreoffice.command' specific to LibreOffice was added. In the affected versions of LibreOffice links using that scheme could be constructed to call internal macros with arbitrary arguments. Which when clicked on, or activated by document events, could result in arbitrary script execution without warning. This issue affects: The Document Foundation LibreOffice 7.4 versions prior to 7.4.1; 7.3 versions prior to 7.3.6. (CVE-2022-3140)

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

Solution

All LibreOffice users should upgrade to the latest version:

 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose >=app-office/libreoffice-7.3.6.2 All LibreOffice binary users should upgrade to the latest version:

 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose >=app-office/libreoffice-bin-7.3.6.2
