I would like everyone to know that MOST of the Linux distros that do Security Updates have patched for this issue already:

CentOS: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2007-Septe... http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2007-Septe... http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2007-Septe...

RHEL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2007-0848.html

Fedora Core 6: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-package-announce/2007...

(NA to FC7, they use OOo2.2)

Debian: http://www.debian.org/security/2007/dsa-1375

I am sure all the other major distros have also released an update for this ... just so people who keep up with updates are not scared by this thing for no reason.
