Hsqldb supports a "SCRIPT" keyword which is normally used to record the commands input by the database admin to output such a script. In combination with LibreOffice, an attacker could craft an odb containing a "database/script" file which itself contained a SCRIPT command where the contents of the file could be written to a new file whose location was determined by the attacker. For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 2.4.1-2+deb10u2. We recommend that you upgrade your hsqldb packages.
