From ${URL} : It was found that LibreOffice documents executed macros unconditionally, without user approval, when these documents were opened using LibreOffice. A attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitray code as the user running LibreOffice, by embedding malicious VBA scripts in the document as macros. The following commit fixes this issue: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=1b0402f87c9b17fef2141130bfaa1798ece6ba0d @maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please let us know if it is ready for the stabilization or not.
Version bump is on the way (build testing now).

app-office/libreoffice-4.2.5.2 and app-office/libreoffice-l10n-4.2.5.2 bumped. Let's give it a few days in ~arch now to find obvious problems. Binary packages in preparation.

Arches please *test* (especially the bin packages, since I cannot test much there) and then if all is OK mark stable: Target: amd64 x86 =app-office/libreoffice-4.2.5.2 =app-office/libreoffice-l10n-4.2.5.2 =app-office/libreoffice-bin-4.2.5.2 =app-office/libreoffice-bin-debug-4.2.5.2 On x86 the following dependencies are still missing and need be stabilized at the same time, too: =dev-libs/icu-52.1 =dev-cpp/libcmis-0.4.1 =media-libs/libfreehand-0.0.0 =dev-util/mdds-0.10.3 =app-text/libetonyek-0.0.3 =app-text/libabw-0.0.2 =app-text/libodfgen-0.0.4 =app-text/libebook-0.0.2 =app-text/libmwaw-0.2.0 Known minor issues: * The USE=kde variant does not use the KDE file dialogs right now but the default internal ones. We can't do much here since our Qt packages are missing some critical fixes (bug 514968).
