Upgrade libreoffice to version 4.4.4.1 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS). Integer overflow in LibreOffice before 4.4.5 and Apache OpenOffice before 4.1.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long DOC file, which triggers a buffer overflow.
