LibreOffice before 4.4.5 and Apache OpenOffice before 4.1.2 uses the stored LinkUpdateMode configuration information in OpenDocument Format files and templates when handling links, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a crafted document, which embeds data from local files into (1) Calc or (2) Writer.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Older LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice versions could trust link-update settings saved inside a malicious OpenDocument file. If a user opened the document, local file contents might be embedded into Calc or Writer content, creating a sensitive-data exposure risk. Exposure is most likely on endpoints still running LibreOffice before 4.4.5 or Apache OpenOffice before 4.1.2, especially where users open ODF documents or templates from email, downloads, shared drives, or external partners. Treat this as a legacy software hygiene issue with meaningful data-leak potential. Prioritize remediation where affected office suites remain on business endpoints handling external documents. Mitigation focus: Upgrade LibreOffice to 4.4.5 or later where still deployed.; Upgrade Apache OpenOffice to 4.1.2 or later where still deployed.; Apply relevant Linux distribution security updates from vendor advisories..
