Description:
A vulnerability was reported in OpenOffice. A local user may be able to obtain documents belonging to another local user.
pmladek reported that the software uses insecure temporary files. When started, OpenOffice creates a world-readable temporary directory ('/tmp/sv<RAND>.tmp'). When an OpenOffice file is saved, a compressed version (zip file) is saved in the temporary directory.
A local user can access the temporary directory and obtain the file.
The vendor was notified on August 17, 2004.
Carsten Eiram of Secunia is credited with discovering this flaw.

Impact:
A local user can obtain information belonging to another local user.
