Debian LTS: DLA-3368-1: libreoffice security update
Summary
CVE-2021-25636
Only use X509Data
LibreOffice supports digital signatures of ODF documents and macros
within documents, presenting visual aids that no alteration of the
document occurred since the last signing and that the signature is
valid. An Improper Certificate Validation vulnerability in LibreOffice
allowed an attacker to create a digitally signed ODF document, by
manipulating the documentsignatures.xml or macrosignatures.xml stream
within the document to contain both "X509Data" and "KeyValue" children
of the "KeyInfo" tag, which when opened caused LibreOffice to verify
using the "KeyValue" but to report verification with the unrelated
"X509Data" value.
CVE-2022-3140
Insufficient validation of "vnd.libreoffice.command"
URI schemes. LibreOffice supports Office URI Schemes to enable browser
integration of LibreOffice with MS SharePoint server. An additional
scheme 'vnd.libreoffice.command' specific to LibreOffice was added. In
the affected versions of LibreOffice links using that 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.
CVE-2022-26305
Compare authors using Thumbprint
An Improper Certificate Validation vulnerability in LibreOffice
existed where determining if a macro was signed by a trusted author
was done by only matching the serial number and issuer string of the
used certificate with that of a trusted certificate. This is not
sufficient to verify that the macro was actually signed with the
certificate. An adversary could therefore create an arbitrary
certificate with a serial number and an issuer string identical to a
trusted certificate which LibreOffice would present as belonging to
the trusted author, potentially leading to the user to execute
arbitrary code contained in macros improperly trusted.
CVE-2022-26306
LibreOffice supports the storage of passwords for
web connections in the userâs configuration database. The stored
passwords are encrypted with a single master key provided by the
user. A flaw in LibreOffice existed where the required initialization
vector for encryption was always the same which weakens the security
of the encryption making them vulnerable if an attacker has access to
the user's configuration data
CVE-2022-26307
Add Initialization Vectors to password storage.
LibreOffice supports the storage of passwords for web connections in
the userâs configuration database. The stored passwords are encrypted
with a single master key provided by the user. A flaw in LibreOffice
existed where master key was poorly encoded resulting in weakening its
entropy from 128 to 43 bits making the stored passwords vulerable to a
brute force attack if an attacker has access to the users stored
config.
For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version
1:6.1.5-3+deb10u8.
We recommend that you upgrade your libreoffice packages.
