Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2006:033 (OpenOffice.org).

OpenOffice.org 2.0 and earlier, when hyperlinks has been disabled, does not
prevent the user from clicking the WWW-browser button in the Hyperlink dialog,
which makes it easier for attackers to trick the user into bypassing intended
security settings. Updated packages are patched to address this issue.
