Upgrade libreoffice to version 4.4.4.1 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS). Integer underflow in LibreOffice before 4.4.5 and Apache OpenOffice before 4.1.2, when the configuration setting "Load printer settings with the document" is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted PrinterSetup data in an ODF document.
