libreoffice: Arbitrary file disclosure in Calc and Writer
LibreOffice before 4.4.5 and Apache OpenOffice before 4.1.2 uses the stored LinkUpdateMode configuration information in OpenDocument Format files and templates when handling links, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a crafted document, which embeds data from local files into (1) Calc or (2) Writer.
It was discovered that LibreOffice did not properly restrict automatic link updates. By tricking a victim into opening specially crafted documents, an attacker could possibly use this flaw to disclose contents of files accessible by the victim.

CVE-2015-4551 [MEDIUM] CVE-2015-4551 libreoffice: Arbitrary file disclosure in Calc and Writer
CVE-2015-4551 libreoffice: Arbitrary file disclosure in Calc and Writer
A vulnerability in OpenOffice and LibreOffice settings of OpenDocument Format files and templates, allowing silent access to files that are readable from an user account, over-riding the user's default configuration settings, was found. Once these files are imported into a maliciously-crafted document, the data can be silently hidden in the document and possibly exported to an external party without being observed.
Versions affected by this vulnerability are LibreOffice < 4.4.5 and OpenOffice <= 4.1.1.
