Summary
Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac, when running on Macintosh systems that restrict Office access to administrators, does not enforce this restriction for user ID 502, which allows local users with that ID to bypass intended security policy and access Office programs, related to permissions and ownership for certain directories.
