==========================================================================

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

- Ubuntu 19.04
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in LibreOffice.

Software Description:
- libreoffice: Office productivity suite

Details:

Nils Emmerich discovered that LibreOffice incorrectly handled LibreLogo
scripts. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted document,
a remote attacker could cause LibreOffice to execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2019-9848)

Matei "Mal" Badanoiu discovered that LibreOffice incorrectly handled
stealth mode. Contrary to expectations, bullet graphics could be retrieved
from remote locations when running in stealth mode. (CVE-2019-9849)
