CVE-2010-0395

Ubuntu priority
OpenOffice.org 2.x and 3.0 before 3.2.1 allows user-assisted remote attackers to bypass Python macro security restrictions and execute arbitrary Python code via a crafted OpenDocument Text (ODT) file that triggers code execution when the macro directory structure is previewed.
From the Ubuntu Security Team
Marc Schoenefeld discovered that OpenOffice.org would run document macros from the macro browser, even when macros were disabled. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted document and examining a macro, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with user privileges.
