Hi, Maybe this will clear it up. I received the following message:
Subject: CVE-2015-1774: OpenOffice HWP Filter Remote Execution and DoS
Vulnerability
<clipped>
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.
<clipped>
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".

Hi, I have 4.1.1 on my Mac, but where is the library?
Which library are you referring to? There are three on a Mac.
I can’t find any file called “Library” or “libhwp.dylib” on my Mac.
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.
