Synopsis |
| 16 |
======== |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
OpenOffice.org uses insecure temporary files which could allow a |
| 19 |
malicious local user to gain knowledge of sensitive information from |
| 20 |
other users' documents. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Background |
| 23 |
========== |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
OpenOffice.org is an office productivity suite, including word |
| 26 |
processing, spreadsheets, presentations, drawings, data charting, |
| 27 |
formula editing, and file conversion facilities. |
| 28 |
|

Description |
| 46 |
=========== |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
On start-up, OpenOffice.org 1.1.2 creates a temporary directory with |
| 49 |
insecure permissions. When a document is saved, a compressed copy of it |
| 50 |
can be found in that directory. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
Impact |
| 53 |
====== |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
A malicious local user could obtain the temporary files and thus read |
| 56 |
documents belonging to other users. |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
Workaround |
| 59 |
========== |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
Resolution |
| 64 |
