Vulnerable versions of LibreOffice allow WEBSERVICE to take a local file URL (e.g file://) which can be used to inject local files into the spreadsheet without warning the user. Subsequent formulas can operate on that inserted data and construct a remote URL whose path leaks the local data to a remote attacker. In later versions of LibreOffice without this flaw, WEBSERVICE has now been limited to accessing http and https URLs along with bringing WEBSERVICE URLs under LibreOffice Calc's link management infrastructure. All users are recommended to upgrade to LibreOffice >= 5.4.5 or >= 6.0.1 Thanks to Ronnie Goodrich and Andrew Krasichkov for discovering this flaw. 5.4.5.1 will be our next stable candidate, higher versions currently available in tree are already unaffected. *bin is ready, so let's add arches. x86 stable amd64 stable. Maintainer(s), please cleanup. Security, please add it to the existing request, or file a new one.
