Canonical published a new security notice to inform users of the Ubuntu Linux operating system that the latest LibreOffice builds have landed in the repositories.

LibreOffice 5.1.4 is now available for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus), LibreOffice 5.0.6 for Ubuntu 15.10 (Wily Werewolf), and LibreOffice 3.5.7 for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin), patching a security issue that could allow an attacker to crash the software or run malicious programs as your login.

The latest LibreOffice 5.1.4 packages have also landed in the Arch Linux repositories, and it looks like the Debian Project pushed LibreOffice 4.3.3-2+deb8u5 to the Debian GNU/Linux 8.5 "Jessie" repos, as well as LibreOffice 5.1.4~rc1-1 to Debian GNU/Linux 9 "Stretch" (Debian Testing) and Debian Sid (Unstable).
