Package : openoffice.org
Vulnerability : macro execution
Problem type : local
Debian-specific: no
Debian bug : none
CVE ID : CVE-2010-0395

It was discovered that OpenOffice.org, a full-featured office productivity
suite that provides a near drop-in replacement for Microsoft(R) Office, is
not properly handling python macros embedded in an office document. This
allows an attacker to perform user-assisted execution of arbitrary code in
certain use cases of the python macro viewer component.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 1:2.4.1+dfsg-1+lenny7.

For the testing distribution (squeeze), this problem will be fixed soon.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 1:3.2.1-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your openoffice.org packages.

Upgrade instructions
- --------------------

wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
