Posted by Zonk on from the keep-the-uninvited-guests-out dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Linuxlookup.com is reporting all users of OpenOffice.org 1.1.4 are urged to download and install this security patch. It addresses a problem noted in a recent advisory. That advisory states that there is a security risk in all circulating releases of OpenOffice.org. This patch fixes the problem in 1.1.4 but not in earlier or subsequent releases."

    Heh. 'Good' is relative to who you like or dislike. If this story was about Office, it would be 'bad' that the problem existed at all.
