Severity: low

Description:

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.
