Debian LTS: DLA-3915-1: libreoffice Security Advisory Updates

Debian LTS fixes an important issue in LibreOffice related to zip file repairs. Upgrade to version 1:7.0.4-4+deb11u11 now!
Various file formats are based on the zip file format

Summary

Prior to this fix, in the case of digitally signed zip files,
an attacker could construct a document which, when repaired,
reported a signature status not valid for the recovered file.

Previously if verification failed the user could choose
to ignore the failure and enable the macros anyway.

Repair document mode has to be inherently tolerant,
so now in fixed versions all signatures are implied to
be invalid in recovery mode.

For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version
1:7.0.4-4+deb11u11.

We recommend that you upgrade your libreoffice packages.
