Descriptions

The Apache OpenOffice installer (versions prior to 4.1.3, including some branded as OpenOffice.org) for Windows contains a defective operation that allows execution of arbitrary code with elevated privileges. This requires that the location in which the installer is run has been previously poisoned by a file that impersonates a dynamic-link library that the installer depends upon.

El instalador de Apache OpenOffice (versiones anteriores a la 4.13, incluyendo algunas denominadas OpenOffice.org) para Windows contiene una operación defectuosa que permite la ejecución de código arbitrario con privilegios elevados. Esto requiere que la localización en la que el instalador se ejecuta haya sido previamente envenenada por un archivo que suplanta una biblioteca de vínculos dinámicos de la que depende el instalador.
