CVE-2023-6185: Improper input validation enabling arbitrary Gstreamer
pipeline injection

Fixed in: LibreOffice 7.5.9/7.6.3

Description:

LibreOffice supports embedded videos in file formats via platform
audio/video support. Typically under Linux this is via gstreamer. In
affected version of LibreOffice the filename of the embedded video is
not sufficiently escaped when passed to gstreamer enabling an attacker
to run arbitrary gstreamer plugins depending on what plugins are
installed on the target system.

Linux Users are recommended to upgrade to 7.5.9 or 7.6.3 to avoid this
flaw.

CVE-2023-6186: Link targets allow arbitrary script execution

Fixed in: LibreOffice 7.5.9/7.6.4

Description:

LibreOffice supports hyperlinks. In addition to the typical common
protocols such as http/https hyperlinks can also have target URLs that
can launch built-in macros or dispatch built-in internal commands. In
affected version of LibreOffice there are scenarios where these can be
executed without warning if the user activates such hyperlinks. In
later versions the users's explicit macro execution permissions for the
document are now consulted if these non-typical hyperlinks can be
executed. The possibility to use these variants of hyperlink targets
for floating frames has been removed.

Users are recommended to upgrade to 7.5.9 or 7.6.4 to avoid this flaw.
