Collabora Office 5.0 Release Notes

Collabora Office 5.0 release is based on upstream LibreOffice 5.0 source code, thus it contains all fixes from the upstream libreoffice-5-0 branch, plus more fixes and backported stable features from higher releases.

5.0-46

Released on 2018-10-22

Most important fixes

  • Keep PyUNO script processing below base URI

5.0-45

Released on 2018-05-25

Most important fixes

  • CVE-2018-10583 Information disclosure via SMB link embedded in ODF document

    An ODF document with a linked image, which is on a Samba share, will cause Collabora Office to automatically initiate a Samba connection to retrieve the image. This is analogous to how opening HTML documents which contain links to images on remote web sites are automatically fetched by web browsers.

    Since Collabora Office 5.3-49, end users or administrators can disable this functionality to automatically fetch such linked images via “Tools->Options->Security->Options->Block any links from documents not among the trusted locations”
