+ <strong>CVE-2019-9853 Insufficient URL decoding flaw in categorizing
macro location
+ </strong>
+ </p>
+ <p style="text-align:center; font-size:larger">
+ <strong>Fixed in Apache OpenOffice 4.1.7</strong>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <strong>Description
+ </strong>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ OpenOffice documents can contain macros. The execution of those macros
is controlled by the document security settings, typically execution of macros
are blocked by default. A URL decoding flaw existed in how the URLs to the
macros within the document were processed and categorized, resulting in the
possibility to construct a document where macro execution bypassed the security
settings. The documents were correctly detected as containing macros, and
prompted the user to their existence within the documents, but macros within
the document were subsequently not controlled by the security settings allowing
arbitrary macro execution.
+
+ This issue affects: OpenOffice 4.1.6 and older versions.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <strong>Severity: Medium
+ </strong>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ There are no known exploits of this vulnerability.<br /> A
