Overview
Several security issues were fixed in LibreOffice.
Details
Federico Scrinzi discovered that LibreOffice incorrectly handled documents
inserted into Writer or Calc via links. If a user were tricked into opening
a specially crafted document, a remote attacker could possibly obtain the
contents of arbitrary files. (CVE-2015-4551)
It was discovered that LibreOffice incorrectly handled PrinterSetup data
stored in ODF files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially
crafted ODF document, a remote attacker could cause LibreOffice to crash,
and possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-5212)
It was discovered that LibreOffice incorrectly handled the number of pieces
in DOC files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted DOC
document, a remote attacker could cause LibreOffice to crash, and possibly
execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-5213)
