A flaw was found in LibreOffice. When an empty Java class path entry is configured, LibreOffice will search for Java classes in the current working directory, allowing malicious Java classes to load when opening a document using the file manager, resulting in arbitrary code execution.

Mitigation

Disabling the Java runtime in LibreOffice will mitigate this issue. To disable it, uncheck the "Use a Java runtime environment" option box via: Tools, Options, LibreOffice/Advanced, Use a Java runtime environment.
