(This appears to be the root of the Duplicate chain, so please re-open it as the
fundamental problem is not fixed.)

Bundling JRE 1.6r5 clearly does not fix the problem, nor does bundling JRE
1.6r7, because by the time a given OOo is released there is a newer
security-fixed JRE. 

The installation script should fetch the latest compatible JRE.  Maybe some kind
of dynamic redirect could be put onto the OOo website to point to the right
place.  Alternatively, while installing OOo, at least ask the user if they want
to install the bundled JRE or go get the latest one or neither.

Then it is Sun's job to fix their installers to remove old versions.
