Well marc57,

Why not update your version of OO, I did so, and I am not vulnerable. Another example why it is wise to always upgrade your software to the latest version. Here version 2.3.0, the American version with a Dutch language pack. Download: http://download.openoffice.org/2.3.0/index.html

Why not update your version of OOpolonus

Some non-English translations are on 2.0.1 version yet… it’s a pity.

The current version of OpenOffice (version 2.3) arrived on September 17 and is not affected by the flaw.

Thanks Bob :D, but as Tech said a few posts above the 2.3.0 version is currently available only in English ???.
P.S. ( this is not a problem to me as I understand, speak & wright in English pretty well (IMO), but that would be a pretty big problem to other people from former SU, & particularly Ukraine).
Take care.
