Subject: wordperfect 8 for linux security

Hi, 
 
I sent a similar message to Corel about this.  And I figured I'd send 
it out here in order to prevent people from opening up their systems by 
installing word perfect 8 before the problem is fixed. 
 
When wordperfect 8 is installed it creates a /tmp/wpc-<hostname> 
directory with permissions 777.  And all files inside of it are mode 
666.  And when these files are created, symlinks are followed. 
 
You already know what this means when root tries to install word 
perfect. 
 
So to those of you who are planning to install word perfect 8 for 
linux, don't do it as root.  Pick another user for doing the job.
