CVE-2012-5639

Published: 20 December 2019

LibreOffice and OpenOffice automatically open embedded content

Notes

AuthorNote

seems more like a feature request. LibreOffice prompts the user
saying that the document contains links to external data and asks if the user
wants to refresh them. The prompt does not say what the files are. The
external content is fetched the first time without prompting.
