Synopsis

The remote Scientific Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

A flaw was found in the way OpenOffice.org enforced a macro security setting for macros, written in the Python scripting language, that were embedded in OpenOffice.org documents. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted OpenOffice.org document and previewed the macro directory structure, it could lead to Python macro execution even if macro execution was disabled. (CVE-2010-0395)

All running instances of OpenOffice.org applications must be restarted for this update to take effect.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
