NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libreoffice-langpack-nso package and not the libreoffice-langpack-nso package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

It was found that libreoffice before versions 6.0.7 and 6.1.3 was vulnerable to a directory traversal attack which could be used to execute arbitrary macros bundled with a document. An attacker could craft a document, which when opened by LibreOffice, would execute a Python method from a script in any arbitrary file system location, specified relative to the LibreOffice install location.
