No Longer Using OpenOffice
After working hours on my project, then having OpenOffice freeze up and shut down, reopen, “recover” my documents, but then the document not actually being recovered, this will be the last time I use this application. And, yes, I had it set to auto-backup every 15 minutes, yet somehow it recovered no work I had done today AT ALL! When I view the document properties, it shows last being modified 17 hours ago, when I actually completed it about 5 hours ago!!

Severity: Important Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation Versions Affected: All Apache OpenOffice versions 4.1.1 and older are affected. Mitigation: Apache OpenOffice users are advised to remove the problematic library in the program folder of their OpenOffice installation.

What do you expect to find that would have you be more satisfied the email is legitimate? 1. The mail is from the e-mail address of an Apache Committer and member of the Apache OpenOffice PMC. You can verify that. 2. The mail was signed using a PGP key associated with that email address and there are means to verify that. 3. There have been no subsequent messages indicating that there is an error or any sort of malicious activity here. The difference between this CVE notice and others is this. Usually the notice is not made until there is a fix in a current release. In the case of CVD-2015-1774 and Apache OpenOffice, there is a mitigation recommendation and no fix at this time. This is not uncommon in the industry, it is simply a variation that has arisen for the first time with Apache OpenOffice. April 25, 2015 is the agreed date at which notifications on this CVE are being made from those parties impacted by the defect. This is coordinated on private lists employed by the security community. That community and the original party have also been notified of the specific Apache OpenOffice status with respect to the vulnerability and the mitigation that is being announced. You can find out more about CVE 2015-1774 by conducting an Internet Search. The disclosure information may trickle out and be posted in various places. The official reservation is here, http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2015-1774. Other notices will appear, such as this one: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2015-1774.

La respuesta es que sí, el formato ODT se puede leer en una Apple Mac siempre y cuando el usuario tenga instalado Apache Open Office u otro programa que trabaje con archivos o ficheros ODT. Si no, puedes exportar tu documento a Microsoft Word (.DOC), desde la opción Archivos-Guardar Como... debajo del campo donde ingresas el nombre de archivo hay un menú desplegable que tiene los distintos formatos en que puedes grabar, uno de ellos es MS Word (doc).

FC --- English translation follows--- Hi Maria, This is an English language mailing list, however, I´ll reply to you in Spanish and include a translation below so other list members know what we´re talking about. The answer to your question is YES, the ODT format can be opened by soneone who uses an Apple Mac IF he has installed any program able to open ODT files (like Apache Open Office for Mac). Failing that, you can export (save) your document into Microsoft Word (.DOC), by choosing from File-Save as, and selecting from the drop-down menu below where you enter the file name, the desired file format (in this case MS Word). See this image for what I mean: http://tinypic.com/r/2qwhj7m/8 Hope this helps!

RE: CVE-2015-1774: OpenOffice HWP Filter Remote Execution and DoS Vulnerability
In the bulletin below: ...on Mac it is named libhwp.dylib (step-by-step instructions: go to the Applications folder in Finder; right click on OpenOffice.app; click on Show Package Contents; then search for the file libhwp.dylib with Finder's search function, or Look for it in the folder Contents/MacOS; then delete the file) That library is indeed in Contents/MacOS; however, using the Finder search function on libhwp.dylib did not turn anything up. I presume Apple hides those things. (I am on an iMac, 10.10.3.) I found that library, renamed it, and then brought up a spreadsheet and a document - seems OK. Just FYI.

And, yes, I had it set to auto-backup every 15 minutes, Something must be malfunctioning on your system. Do you have enough free space on the system hard disk (where the temp folder is stored). ?. It is not usual for Apache Open Office -an application that recently turned 12 years, 9 months, 9 days (from the first Open Office 1.0 release), to crash a lot and then not being able to recover your work. In any case, like in ALL applications, saving different versions of your work regularly under different names (revision 1, rev, 2, etc) is highly recommended. yet somehow it recovered no work I had done today AT ALL! When I view the document properties, it shows last being modified 17 hours ago, when I actually completed it about 5 hours ago!! Frustrated beyond belief!! I feel there´s a patter here about some people who come to this list, only to complain about AOO crashing in some bizarre total-failure way, then say that the program sucks, and that they´re never gonna use this program again. This helps nobody, not other users, not even the original poster who has allegedly already decided to stop using the program, yet they feel the need to get on a high horse and ANNOUNCE to the world that they´re going to STOP USING IT. Well, yea, whatever floats your boat. It´s just that a google search for your email address finds not a single reference. So, the paranoid in me suspects trolling. Of couse, I´m not accusing you of being a troll, but trolls are out there, only waiting to be found.

Muchas gracias Hola Maria, Esta es una lista en idioma inglés, de todas maneras te respondo (primero en español después en inglés para que los demás entiendan de que hablamos). La respuesta es que sí, el formato ODT se puede leer en una Apple Mac siempre y cuando el usuario tenga instalado Apache Open Office u otro programa que trabaje con archivos o ficheros ODT. Si no, puedes exportar tu documento a Microsoft Word (.DOC), desde la opción Archivos-Guardar Como... debajo del campo donde ingresas el nombre de archivo hay un menú desplegable que tiene los distintos formatos en que puedes grabar, uno de ellos es MS Word (doc). Ver esta imagen: http://tinypic.com/r/2qwhj7m/8 Espero te sirva, saludos! FC --- English translation follows--- Hi Maria, This is an English language mailing list, however, I´ll reply to you in Spanish and include a translation below so other list members know what we´re talking about. The answer to your question is YES, the ODT format can be opened by soneone who uses an Apple Mac IF he has installed any program able to open ODT files (like Apache Open Office for Mac). Most ODT files can be also be opened by the preloaded Mac OS Preview program and many can also be edited by the preloaded TextEdit program so it's always safe to send an ODT file to a friend with a Mac even if they may not have OpenOffice.
