openoffice and not openoffice-1.1?
I think they should be *-openoffice-1.1-*.
Currently I don't want to maintain OOo 1.0.3 ports since
they shoule be obsolated, also openoffice-1.0 might not
build for 5.3-RELEASE since there is a change in make(1).

> Is it possible to have the OpenOffice ports patched before 5.3-RELEASE?

I will commit the patch (slightly changed, though) by mmeeks
at the IZ: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=33357

This patch was committed and confirmed that this risk is avoided.
1. Launch OpenOffice.
2. List /tmp contents. Locate the directory 'sv*.tmp'
3. Type in some contents in the document and save it.
4. List the contents of the directory /tmp/sv*.tmp/
5. Do not close OpenOffice. 'su' to a different user.
6. Copy the file under /tmp/sv*.tmp/ to home directory.
-> Now Permission denied.

BTW:
OOo uses mozilla 1.0 runtime, and it also has security vulnerability.
portsaudit tells and some discussios somewhere at opneoffice at freebsd.org
and freebsd-users-jp at jp.freebsd.org (in Japanese).
I'll mark as WITHOUT_MOZILLA for a while so as to avoid this problem also.
