Macro virus for Staroffice discovered (Techworld)

Techworld is reporting that a macro virus for StarOffice (and thus, presumably, OpenOffice.org) has been found by our old friends at Kaspersky Lab. "The Stardust virus is contained in a StarOffice document that uses macros and then infects a global template. If a user opens a document infected with Stardust, every StarOffice text document, with a '.sxw' extension, or document template, with a '.stw' extension, will be infected..." There is no mention of whether it can propagate through ODF files.
