Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Fedora 38 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2023-0d971cd6aa advisory.

 - Improper Input Validation vulnerability in GStreamer integration of The Document Foundation LibreOffice allows an attacker to execute arbitrary GStreamer plugins. In affected versions the filename of the embedded video is not sufficiently escaped when passed to GStreamer enabling an attacker to run arbitrary gstreamer plugins depending on what plugins are installed on the target system. (CVE-2023-6185)

 - Insufficient macro permission validation of The Document Foundation LibreOffice allows an attacker to execute built-in macros without warning. In affected versions LibreOffice supports hyperlinks with macro or similar built-in command targets that can be executed when activated without warning the user.
 (CVE-2023-6186)

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

Solution

Update the affected 1:libreoffice and / or libcmis packages.
