LibreOffice and OpenOffice flaws let malicious spreadsheets run code
Original: The first one has been patched. The Hacker News: LibreOffice and OpenOffice Flaws Let Malicious Spreadsheets Run Code Wi
Security researchers have disclosed vulnerabilities in LibreOffice and OpenOffice that allow malicious spreadsheet files to execute code on a victim's machine without triggering the usual macro warnings. The first of the flaws has reportedly been patched, and users are being urged to update their office suites. The issue has drawn attention in the open-source and information security communities because it bypasses a long-standing protection that many users rely on when opening documents from unknown sources.
Why now: The flaws undermine a basic security warning users depend on, and a patch has just been released.
