Details

It was discovered that LibreOffice incorrectly allowed users to enable
macros when a cryptographic signature failed to validate. If a user were
tricked into opening a specially crafted document, a remote attacker could
possibly execute arbitrary macros.

Update instructions

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 24.04

• libreoffice - 4:24.2.5-0ubuntu0.24.04.2

Ubuntu 22.04

• libreoffice - 1:7.3.7-0ubuntu0.22.04.6

Ubuntu 20.04

• libreoffice - 1:6.4.7-0ubuntu0.20.04.11

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
