INTRODUCTION

The Education Project from OpenOffice.org aims to be the single window
for students, teachers, academics and persons interested in education to
join, participate and contribute to the OpenOffice.org project.

The Education Project intends to also help create course content aimed
at potential contributors that can be adopted and adapted to varying
needs. The Project thus provides:

- a development category so as to have a central view for students into
the development of OpenOffice.org
- a tools category listing several tools available through
OpenOffice.org

Security experts have discovered vulnerabilities in OpenOffice.org that could allow attackers to remotely execute code on Linux, Windows or Apple Mac-based computers.

OpenOffice version 2.0.4 and earlier versions are vulnerable to maliciously crafted TIFF files, which can be delivered in an e-mail attachment, published on a Web site or shared using peer-to-peer software. The next version of OpenOffice (version 2.3) arrived on September 17 and is not affected by the flaw.
