It was discovered that OpenOffice.org, a full-featured office productivity
suite that provides a near drop-in replacement for Microsoft® 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.
