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

Software Description:

Details:

Yves Younan and Richard Johnson discovered that LibreOffice incorrectly
handled presentation files. If a user were tricked into opening a
specially crafted presentation file, a remote attacker could cause
LibreOffice to crash, and possibly execute arbitrary code.
