Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions LibreOffice versions prior to 5.1.4

Description The issue is related to a use-after-free condition in LibreOffice, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code through a manipulated RTF file. This is connected to the stylesheet and superscript tokens. The vulnerability can be exploited by an attacker using a specially crafted RTF file, potentially leading to the execution of arbitrary code.

Recommendations For versions prior to 5.1.4, update to version 5.1.4 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of RTF files from untrusted sources until the update is applied. Restrict access to the stylesheet and superscript tokens in RTF files to minimize the risk of exploitation.
