==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 11.10

Summary:

LibreOffice could be made to crash or potentially run programs as your
login if it opened a specially crafted file.

Software Description:
- libreoffice: Office productivity suite
- libreoffice-l10n: Office productivity suite help

Details:

Integer overflows were discovered in the graphics loading code of several
different image types. If a user were tricked into opening a specially
crafted file, an attacker could cause LibreOffice to crash or possibly
execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the
program. (CVE-2012-1149)

Sven Jacobi discovered an integer overflow when processing Escher graphics
records. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted PowerPoint
file, an attacker could cause LibreOffice to crash or possibly execute
arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program.
