Descriptions

While working on Apache OpenOffice 4.1.8 a developer discovered that the DEB package did not install using root, but instead used a userid and groupid of 500. This both caused issues with desktop integration and could allow a crafted attack on files owned by that user or group if they exist. Users who installed the Apache OpenOffice 4.1.8 DEB packaging should upgrade to the latest version of Apache OpenOffice.

Mientras trabajaba en Apache OpenOffice versión 4.1.8, un desarrollador ha detectado que el paquete DEB no se instalaba usando root, sino que usaba un userid y groupid de 500. Ambos causaban problemas con la integración en el escritorio y podía permitir un ataque diseñado en los archivos propiedad de ese usuario o grupo si existían. Los usuarios que instalaron el paquete DEB de Apache OpenOffice versión 4.1.8 deben actualizar a la última versión de Apache OpenOffice
