This update contains binaries for the ports architectures only. This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-12:Update update project.

Security Fix(es) :

  - An out-of-bounds write flaw was found in the way     Libreoffice rendered certain documents containing     Polygon images. By tricking a user into opening a     specially crafted LibreOffice file, an attacker could     possibly use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with     the privileges of the user opening the file.
    (CVE-2017-7870)

CVE-2017-3157

Ben Hayak discovered that objects embedded in Writer and Calc documents may result in information disclosure. Please see https://www.libreoffice.org/about-us/security/advisories/cve-2017-3157 / for additional information.

CVE-2017-7870

An out-of-bounds write caused by a heap-based buffer overflow was found in the Polygon class.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 1:3.5.4+dfsg2-0+deb7u9.

We recommend that you upgrade your libreoffice packages.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3273-1 advisory.

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