GLSA-200410-17 : OpenOffice.org: Temporary files disclosure

low Nessus Plugin ID 15526

Synopsis

The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200410-17 (OpenOffice.org: Temporary files disclosure)

 On start-up, OpenOffice.org 1.1.2 creates a temporary directory with insecure permissions. When a document is saved, a compressed copy of it can be found in that directory.
 Impact :

 A malicious local user could obtain the temporary files and thus read documents belonging to other users.
 Workaround :

 There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

All affected OpenOffice.org users should upgrade to the latest version:
 # emerge sync # emerge -pv '>=app-office/openoffice-1.1.3' # emerge '>=app-office/openoffice-1.1.3' All affected OpenOffice.org binary users should upgrade to the latest version:
 # emerge sync # emerge -pv '>=app-office/openoffice-bin-1.1.3' # emerge '>=app-office/openoffice-bin-1.1.3' All affected OpenOffice.org Ximian users should upgrade to the latest version:
 # emerge sync # emerge -pv '>=app-office/openoffice-ximian-1.3.4' # emerge '>=app-office/openoffice-1.3.4'
