Synopsis
========

A vulnerability has been discovered in LibreOffice which could result in
arbitrary script execution via crafted links.

Background
==========

LibreOffice is a powerful office suite; its clean interface and powerful
tools let you unleash your creativity and grow your productivity.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  app-office/libreoffice     < 7.3.6.2                  >= 7.3.6.2
  2  app-office/libreoffice-bin < 7.3.6.2                  >= 7.3.6.2

Description
===========

LibreOffice links using the vnd.libreoffice.command 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.

Impact
======

An attacker able to coerce a victim into opening a crafted LibreOffice
document and execute certain actions with it could achieve remote code
execution.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

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"
