Title: | RedHat Update for libreoffice RHSA-2015:1458-01 |
Summary: | The remote host is missing an update for the 'libreoffice'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. |
Description: | Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'libreoffice' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. Vulnerability Insight: LibreOffice is an open source, community-developed office productivity suite. It includes key desktop applications, such as a word processor, a spreadsheet, a presentation manager, a formula editor, and a drawing program. LibreOffice replaces OpenOffice and provides a similar but enhanced and extended office suite. A flaw was found in the way the LibreOffice HWP (Hangul Word Processor) file filter processed certain HWP documents. An attacker able to trick a user into opening a specially crafted HWP document could possibly use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user opening that document. (CVE-2015-1774) The libreoffice packages have been upgraded to upstream version 4.2.8.2, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version, including: * OpenXML interoperability has been improved. * This update adds additional statistics functions to the Calc application, thus improving interoperability with Microsoft Excel and its 'Analysis ToolPak' add-in. * Various performance improvements have been implemented in Calc. * This update adds new import filters for importing files from the Appple Keynote and Abiword applications. * The export filter for the MathML markup language has been improved. * This update adds a new start screen that includes thumbnails of recently opened documents. * A visual clue is now displayed in the Slide Sorter window for slides with transitions or animations. * This update improves trend lines in charts. * LibreOffice now supports BCP 47 language tags. For a complete list of bug fixes and enhancements provided by this rebase, see the libreoffice change log linked from the References section. (BZ#1150048) Users of libreoffice are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which correct these issues and add these enhancements. Affected Software/OS: libreoffice on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 6), Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6) Solution: Please Install the Updated Packages.
