[tdf-announce] Important release of LibreOffice 7.6.2 Community and LibreOffice 7.5.7 Community with key security fix

Berlin, 26 September 2023 - The Document Foundation is releasing 
LibreOffice 7.6.2 Community and LibreOffice 7.5.7 Community ahead of 
schedule to address a security issue known as CVE 2023-4863, which 
originates in a widely used code library known as libwebp, created by 
Google more than a decade ago to render the then-new WebP graphics 
format [1].

In addition to the CVE, the two new versions fix other bugs and 
regressions and are available immediately from 
https://www.libreoffice.org/download [2]. All users of LibreOffice are 
encouraged to update their current version as soon as possible.

The minimum requirements for proprietary operating systems are Microsoft 
Windows 7 SP1 and Apple MacOS 10.15.

For enterprise-class deployments, TDF strongly recommends the 
LibreOffice Enterprise family of applications from ecosystem partners - 
for desktop, mobile and cloud - with a wide range of dedicated 
value-added features and other benefits such as SLAs:
