OpenOffice bug

Tuesday, September 25, 2007 by Philly0381 | Discussion: Personal Computing

For all the folks that use OpenOffice watch out!

Security experts have discovered vulnerabilities in OpenOffice.org that could allow attackers to remotely execute code on Linux, Windows or Apple Mac-based computers.

From what I've seen OpenOffice updates pretty regularly, I'd be looking for one.

From the same article: "The next version of OpenOffice (version 2.3) arrived on September 17 and is not affected by the flaw."

Also, this forum post - OpenOffice update
