Hi, Maybe this will clear it up. I received the following message:

Subject: CVE-2015-1774: OpenOffice HWP Filter Remote Execution and DoS 
Vulnerability

CVE-2015-1774

OpenOffice HWP Filter Remote Code Execution and Denial of Service
Vulnerability

A vulnerability in OpenOffice's HWP filter allows attackers to cause a
denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly
execution of arbitrary code by preparing specially crafted documents in
the HWP document format.

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. On Windows it is
named "hwp.dll", on Mac it is named "libhwp.dylib" and on Linux it is
named "libhwp.so". Alternatively the library can be renamed to anything
else e.g. "hwp_renamed.dll".
This mitigation will drop AOO's support for documents created in "Hangul
Word Processor" versions from 1997 or older. Users of such documents are
advised to convert their documents to other document formats such as
OpenDocument before doing so.

Apache OpenOffice aims to fix the vulnerability in version 4.1.2.

No Longer Using OpenOffice

[Blankenship Glenn]

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!!  
Frustrated beyond belief!!

If you were subscribed to the users@openoffice.apache.org mailing list you would have seen a 
post I made yesterday which answered your question.


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.

RE: CVE-2015-1774: OpenOffice HWP Filter Remote Execution and DoS Vulnerability

[Dennis E. Hamilton]

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,
.  Other notices 
will appear, such as this one:

You can expect to see more information at OpenOffice.org as well.

Well, as far as I know, developers actually read those bug reports. I am

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).

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!

In the bulletin below:

That library is indeed in "Contents/MacOS"; however, using the Finder search

You don´t say which Apache Open Office version. The latest is 4.1.1. If you
had included what operating system and version you´re using (ie Windows 7
Service Pack 1, 32bit or "Windows 8.1 64 bit", or "Apple OSX version such".
together which what AOO version you were using (for example: "AOO 4.0")
THEN your post could have been considered helpful.

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

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.

FC (Speaking only for myself, and not related with the AOO team in any way,
just a regular user and advocate).

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.

The search function in Finder works AFTER you have clicked on "Show Package 
Contents.

The instructions have to be followed in the order given. Otherwise the search 
won't work.

This mailing list is, as far as I understand, for two main purposes. Asking

Works for me every-time. Checked in other apps and search works for anything in the Contents 
folder.

The search function in Finder works AFTER you have clicked on "Show Package 
Contents.

The instructions have to be followed in the order given. Otherwise the search 
won't work.

Word with Windows 7

[CTS]

I have a friend that is a professor for an online college.  The policy is their 
papers are to be sent in MS Word, but some students are using Open Office.  The 
professor is not able to open their documents/assignments.  Is there a way for 
students to send it in Rich Text or someway that she can read the assignments?  
Otherwise they're going to get a zero for the assignment.

Thank you.  I have your program installed but don't utilize it much since I 
really only do email, and I have donated to the cause.  I hope someone can help 
my friend.

There should be no issue if the students using OO use the option to Save AS and 
select MS Office format - .doc

What version of Apache OpenOffice did you download? The last version of AOO to work on OS X 
ver10.6.8 is AOO 4.0.1


Only download from http://www.openoffice.org/download/ and select "OS X 32-bit (x86) (DMG)", 
the language you wish,  and  "4.0.1".
