Mitigation
- Whenever possible, exercise caution when opening documents sent by unknown/untrusted parties.
- If "Update Links" dialog is seen, when opening a document, do not send this document to others, since it may be possible that local files got attached to the document. (The exploit only works when the document is sent over to the attacker after opening it on your system using LibreOffice/OpenOffice)
