Title:
[SRU] libreoffice 5.4.5 for artful
Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Status in libreoffice-l10n package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
[Impact]
* LibreOffice 5.4.5 is the fifth bugfix release of the still 5.4 line.
Version 5.4.4 is currently in artful-proposed.
For a list of fixed bugs compared to 5.4.4 see the list of bugs fixed in
the RC1:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/5.4.5/RC1#List_of_fixed_bugs
* Given the nature of the project, the complexity of the codebase and
the high level of quality assurance upstream, it is preferable to SRU
a minor release rather than cherry-pick selected bug fixes.
* Libreoffice 5.4.5 fixes CVE-2018-6871
[Test Case]
* CVE-2018-6871 should be verified to be fixed
* No other specific test case, bugs fixed upstream hopefully come
with unit/regression tests, and the release itself is extensively
exercised upstream (both in an automated manner and manually) by a
community of testers. Each minor release usually goes through two
release candidates, but 5.4.5 was initially unscheduled and it had a
shortened cycle (only a single RC).
* The libreoffice packages include autopkgtests, those should be run
and verified to pass.
* General smoke testing of all the applications in the office suite
should be carried out.
[Regression Potential]
* A minor release with a total of 69 bug fixes always carries the
potential for introducing regressions, even though it is a bugfix-only
release, meaning that no new features were added, and no existing
features were removed.
* A combination of autopkgtests and careful smoke testing as
described above should provide reasonable confidence that no
regressions sneaked in.
