A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

Summary:
LibreOffice could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it
opened a specially crafted file.
Software Description:
- libreoffice: Office productivity suite
Details:
It was discovered that LibreOffice incorrectly handled LWP document files.
If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted LWP document, a
remote attacker could cause LibreOffice to crash, and possibly execute
arbitrary code.
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

the necessary changes.
