Security readout for executives and security teams
StarOffice 5.2 on shared Unix-like systems creates a temporary directory at /tmp/soffice.tmp that anyone on the machine can read. If another user is signed in on the same system, they may be able to view documents the StarOffice user has open. The risk is limited to multi-user systems where an attacker already has a local account. Very limited in 2026. Affects legacy StarOffice 5.2 installations, primarily on multi-user Unix/Linux hosts where untrusted local users share the system. The product line was superseded long ago by StarOffice/OpenOffice/LibreOffice successors, so modern estates are unlikely to be exposed. Low priority. This is a 2000-era local information-disclosure flaw in a discontinued office suite. Address only if legacy StarOffice 5.2 is still present on multi-user systems; otherwise treat as historical and prioritize modern risks first. Mitigation focus: Identify and retire any remaining StarOffice 5.2 installations in the environment.; Migrate affected users to a supported office suite such as current LibreOffice.; Restrict local shell access on shared hosts to trusted accounts only..
