Affected: Apache Software Foundation Apache OpenOffice

By exploiting the way Apache OpenOffice before 4.1.4 renders embedded objects, an attacker could craft a document that allows reading in a file from the user's filesystem. Information could be retrieved by the attacker by, e.g., using hidden sections to store the information, tricking the user into saving the document and convincing the user to send the document back to the attacker. The vulnerability is mitigated by the need for the attacker to know the precise file path in the target system, and the need to trick the user into saving the document and sending it back.

Affected: Ubuntu:14.04:LTS: libreoffice, Ubuntu:16.04:LTS: libreoffice

Ben Hayak discovered that it was possible to make LibreOffice Calc and Writer disclose arbitrary files to an attacker if a user opened a specially crafted file with embedded links.
