CVE-2010-0395

First published: Tue Mar 16 2010(Updated: )

Marc Schoenefeld found a flaw in the way OpenOffice.org 3.2.0 and earlier, enforced non-executable permission, when browsing macros, written in Python scripting language. If a local user was tricked into opening a specially-crafted OpenDocument Text (ODT) file, containing macros, and previewed the macro directories structure, it could lead to Python macro execution even when macros execution was disabled.
