    <p>
    OpenOffice.org is an office productivity suite, including word processing,
    spreadsheets, presentations, drawings, data charting, formula editing, and
    file conversion facilities.

  <description>
    <p>
    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.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="low">
    <p>
    A malicious local user could obtain the temporary files and thus read
    documents belonging to other users.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
