Well... it's good news as there is an external patch. But for Gentoo Linux users as OpenOffice-3.3.0 was delivered only as just binary file "OOo_3.3.0_Linux_x86-64_install-rpm-wJRE_en-US.tar.gz" from official OpenOffice.org site. So now there is only fast and simple way to escape this vulnerability for Gentoo users - using current binary build of Apach Open Office 3.4 beta unpacked to "/opt" directory for example.
