Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200405-04

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

this server can exploit these vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code
with the rights of the user running OpenOffice.org.
