CWE-ID: CWE-73 - External Control of File Name or Path

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to write files to an arbitrary location on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when processing files within hsqldb. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted odb file that contains a "database/script" file with a SCRIPT command and write contents of that file to an arbitrary location on the system.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability can lead to full system compromise.

Mitigation

Update the affected package libreoffice to the latest version.
