Summary: Impress listens to the world by default
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.2.4.2 release
Component: Impress Remote
Product: LibreOffice
See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=749770:
--- snip ---
Package: libreoffice-impress
Version: 1:4.2.4-3
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
Hello,
the Impress Remote (see e.g.
https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=org.libreoffice.impressremote) is
enabled by default, making LibreOffice listen to the world. Additionaly, this
feature is difficult to turn off (Impress must be started to get into Options,
meaning you can't disable socket binding without actually binding)
How to reproduce:
1. Start Impress
2. Observe 'netstat -tulpn | grep office' or telnet localhost 1599
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:1599 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
6513/soffice.bin
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:1598 0.0.0.0:*
6513/soffice.bin
How to turn off:
1. Start Impress. This unfortunately enables the listening immediately.
2. Tools -> Options -> Impress -> General -> [ ] Enable remote control
I think (at least desktop) applications shouldn't accept connections from the
internet by default.
--- snip ---
While it actually is easily disabeable (although it definitely listens until
you do so), I *do* think he has a point. It shouldn't listen per default.
Maybe we should get a config/UI option for avahi?
