NOTICE: This package is not just a security fix. RedHat has released OpenOffice.org 1.1 as a patch for this security problem.

This means you are going to have to manually obtain and install this errata. Due to it's size, PLEASE use a mirror.

Updated OpenOffice packages that fix a vulnerability in neon exploitable by a malicious DAV server are now available.
More information is available in Red Hat, Inc's original advisory available on their site at:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/enterprise-watch-list/2004-April/msg00004.html
To install this new package on your White Box Enterprise Linux system use the Up2Date Network or Yum.
Note: Be sure to change the default Up2Date or Yum server from the initial location to prevent undue load to the whiteboxlinux.org server, which doesn't have a lot of outbound bandwidth. The config files already have entries for mirror sites commented out.
Up2Date's configuration file is at /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources
Yum's configuration is in /etc/yum.conf
