Title
Apache OpenOffice: Remote documents loaded without prompt via "external data sources" in Calc
Summary
Apache OpenOffice Calc spreadsheet can contain links to other files, in the form of "external data sources". A missing Authorization vulnerability in Apache OpenOffice allowed an attacker to craft a document that would cause such links
to be loaded without prompt.
This issue affects Apache OpenOffice: through 4.1.15.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.1.16, which fixes the issue.
