KAV 2009 OOo issue fixed

This issue with KAV 2009 reporting OOo 3.x as vulnerable is already fixed.

Thanks to Kaspersky for handling this so quickly - the update was available just one week after I contacted them :)

Kaspersky AV 2009 is wrongly reporting OOo 3.x as vulnerable

Some people contacted the OpenOffice.org security team because Kaspersky AV 2009 is reporting OOo 3.x as vulnerable (SA30599).

The security issue was already fixed in OpenOffice.org version 2.41, but KAV 2009 is reporting OOo versions starting with 3.0 as vulnerable again.

It seems that this is just a wrongly done version check. Kaspersky just confirmed to me that this would be an issue in KAV and they would work on that now.

OpenOffice.org 3.x is not affected by this security issue, so you don't have to be worried a can simply ignore the KAV warning...
