Debian Security Advisory 5436-1
Debian Linux Security Advisory 5436-1 - Gregor Kopf of Secfault Security GmbH discovered that HSQLDB, a Java SQL database engine, allowed the execution of spurious scripting commands in .script and .log files. Hsqldb supports a “SCRIPT” keyword which is normally used to record the commands input by the database admin to output such a script. In combination with LibreOffice, an attacker could craft an odb containing a “database/script” file which itself contained a SCRIPT command where the contents of the file could be written to a new file whose location was determined by the attacker.

A flaw was found in the Libreoffice package. An attacker can craft an odb containing a "database/script" file with a SCRIPT command where the contents of the file could be written to a new file whose location was determined by the attacker.
