A journalist who contacted me on Friday for comment told me he had been alerted to the story by someone at Microsoft who was "passing the report around".

Hello Daniel,

I think mentioning KOffice is beside the point. There has been a series
of PR mismatches and communication mistakes about this: in short, the
MinDef tested OOo just like it tested other office software and
discovered flaws just like it would have done so with any other
software. Then there was a leak in the press that got exploited by imho
unscrupulous journalists. I agree with you however, that this is not
good and all this, well, all this tends to piss me off.

Best,
Charles.

"If these types of vulnerabilities had been discovered in Microsoft
Office, it would be front-page news," he said. "Whoever did the security for OpenOffice has totally ignored what Microsoft has gone through with
the security of their own Office documents."

That's not good...  I wonder if KOffice is better. Probably is.

Cheers,
Daniel.
