Descriptions
LibreOffice before 4.4.5 and Apache OpenOffice before 4.1.2 uses the stored LinkUpdateMode configuration information in OpenDocument Format files and templates when handling links, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a crafted document, which embeds data from local files into (1) Calc or (2) Writer.
LibreOffice en versiones anteriores a 4.4.5 y Apache OpenOffice en versiones anteriores a 4.1.2 usa la información de configuración LinkUpdateMode almacenada en archivos OpenDocument Format y plantillas cuando maneja enlaces, lo que podría permitir a atacantes remotos obtener información sensible a través de un documento manipulado, lo que incrusta datos desde archivos locales a (1) Calc o (2) Writer.
It was discovered that LibreOffice did not properly restrict automatic link updates. By tricking a victim into opening specially crafted documents, an attacker could possibly use this flaw to disclose contents of files accessible by the victim.
