Louis,
I have been getting inquiries from someone on this
""""Hi James,
The OpenOffice.org Community is aware of this issue. It is Issue
#46276. I really do not have any more information on this at this
time. I have forwarded your message to more members of the Community
in hopes of being able to offer you more information.
Just thought I'd "ping" you to see if there was any additional info. I
saw that eWeek had a few quotes from Louis Suarez-Potts. Maybe he'd be
available early tomorrow?
Thanks!
Zonker""""
I had been trying to get some additional information on it for him, but
was having trouble sending any email to the list and to Jacqueline McNally.
He is still interested in getting more information for an article he is
writing. Do you have anything more to add to this other than what was
decussed with Eweek?
James

Shouldn't a severe vulnerability notification have been sent to the
announce list? I mean, this is pretty serious.
We (I) were set to do that yesterday, then was informed by Martin
Hollmichel that the patch needed still to go through final QA. It will
be ready tomorrow, and we'll do the full honors--announce, homepage,
etc.
best
Louis

patch is ready but it is still going through [quality assurance]
