OpenOffice 2.2 patches up vulnerabilities
While we're still waiting for an official note on the OpenOffice homepage, it looks like version 2.2 is up on their FTP site.So what's new? Well first off, there's a couple of vulnerability fixes. Users who open untrusted WordPerfect or StarCalc files with OpenOffice 2.1 could leave their systems compromised. And Linux/Solaris users running OpenOffice from a shell terminal could have malicious code executed if they open an untrusted URL. Those problems have all been fixed in OpenOffice 2.2.
Some other changes include improved text display, stability improvement on Intel-based Macs, Impress has improved handling of hidden slides, and Base has improved SQL editing functions.
