Microsoft bestätigt ein Sicherheitsproblem mit dem neuen Office 2008 für den Mac; demnach setzt das Installationsprogramm einige Dateirechte falsch, so dass andere Benutzer die Installation von Microsoft Office 2008 verändern können ohne selbst Administratoren zu sein …
You may have seen recent reports on the web of a security issue in the installer for Mac Office 2008. The issue is that our installer is incorrectly granting ownership of the files to a particular local user as it installs them, so that if your Mac actually has a second local user and that user is not an administrator on your Mac, they could modify your Office 2008 install. The issue does not expose the Office 2008 install to modifications by any networked user account or to any local account other than the second one created on your Mac.
