Description:
Secunia has discovered a vulnerability in OpenOffice and StarOffice, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain knowledge of sensitive information.
The vulnerability is caused due to temporary files being created with insecure permissions in the "/tmp" folder when open documents are saved.
Successful exploitation allows an unprivileged user to read arbitrary users' currently open documents.
The vulnerability affects StarOffice 7 and OpenOffice 1.1.2.
