Description David Walser 2015-04-27 17:01:14 CEST
Debian has issued an advisory on April 25:
https://www.debian.org/security/2015/dsa-3236

Ubuntu has also issued an advisory for this today (April 27):
http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-2578-1/

According to the Ubuntu/Launchpad bug, this issue is fixed upstream in 4.4.2 (already in Cauldron) and 4.3.7.  Ubuntu apparently updated to 4.3.7 RC2 to fix it, and Debian apparently has a patch for 4.3.3.  Updating Mageia 4 to 4.3.7 would probably be the most sensible course of action for us.  Fedora 21 has done just that in git.

Reproducible:

Advisory:
========================

Updated libreoffice packages fix security vulnerability:

The HWP filter in LibreOffice before 4.3.7 allows remote attackers to cause a
denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted HWP
document, which triggers an out-of-bounds write (CVE-2015-1774).

libreoffice-math-4.3.7.2-1.mga4
libreoffice-draw-4.3.7.2-1.mga4

Played with existing .odt documents in Writer, Calc minimally, Draw; and imported a couple of fiddly formatted AbiWord documents which displayed correctly; and saved these as .odt, re-opened them, they still look OK. [This coincidentally resolves a long-standing Writer problem related to importing AbiWord documents, then destroying them on saving/re-opening as .odt].
Thumbs up from me, the update OK.
(I could *not* find any ready-made .hpw documents on the Internet to try).

I tested Writer, Calc, and Impress on i586.  It looks really good.
