Ubuntu Security Notice USN-5661-1

Ubuntu Security Notice 5661-1 - It was discovered that LibreOffice incorrectly validated macro signatures. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted document, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary macros. It was discovered that Libreoffice incorrectly handled encrypting the master key provided by the user for storing passwords for web connections. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain access to passwords stored in the user’s configuration data.

CVE-2022-26306: CVE-2022-26306 | LibreOffice - Free Office Suite - Based on OpenOffice

LibreOffice supports the storage of passwords for web connections in the user’s configuration database. The stored passwords are encrypted with a single master key provided by the user. A flaw in LibreOffice existed where the required initialization vector for encryption was always the same which weakens the security of the encryption making them vulnerable if an attacker has access to the user's configuration data. This issue affects: The Document Foundation LibreOffice 7.2 versions prior to 7.2.7; 7.3 versions prior to 7.3.1.

CVE-2022-26307: CVE-2022-26307 | LibreOffice - Free Office Suite - Based on OpenOffice

LibreOffice supports the storage of passwords for web connections in the user’s configuration database. The stored passwords are encrypted with a single master key provided by the user. A flaw in LibreOffice existed where master key was poorly encoded resulting in weakening its entropy from 128 to 43 bits making the stored passwords vulerable to a brute force attack if an attacker has access to the users stored config. This issue affects: The Document Foundation LibreOffice 7.2 versions prior to 7.2.7; 7.3 versions prior to 7.3.3.

CVE-2022-26305: CVE-2022-26305 | LibreOffice - Free Office Suite - Based on OpenOffice

An Improper Certificate Validation vulnerability in LibreOffice existed where determining if a macro was signed by a trusted author was done by only matching the serial number and issuer string of the used certificate with that of a trusted certificate. This is not sufficient to verify that the macro was actually signed with the certificate. An adversary could therefore create an arbitrary certificate with a serial number and an issuer string identical to a trusted certificate which LibreOffice would present as belonging to the trusted author, potentially leading to the user to execute arbitrary code contained in macros improperly trusted. This issue affects: The Document Foundation LibreOffice 7.2 versions prior to 7.2.7; 7.3 versions prior to 7.3.1.
