The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200405-04 (OpenOffice.org vulnerability when using DAV servers)
OpenOffice.org includes code from the Neon library in functions related to publication on WebDAV servers. This library is vulnerable to several format string attacks.
Impact :
If you use the WebDAV publication and connect to a malicious WebDAV server, this server can exploit these vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user running OpenOffice.org.
Workaround :
As a workaround, you should not use the WebDAV publication facilities.
