Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: OpenOffice.org (OOo) version 1.1.x

Description: The issue is related to an untrusted search path vulnerability in a certain Red Hat build script for OpenOffice.org. This vulnerability allows local users to gain privileges via a malicious library in the current working directory. The problem arises from incorrect quoting of the ORIGIN symbol for use in the RPATH library path.

Recommendations: For OpenOffice.org version 1.1.x, consider restricting access to the build script to minimize the risk of exploitation until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, ensure that the current working directory does not contain any malicious libraries.
