Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 69719
Extension Manager: Extension with lowercase meta-inf freezes the office
Last modified: 2007-08-03 08:13:15 UTC
This is a follow-up to CWS jl40 where the behavior surprisingly inverted (internal #135435). As written in the documentation the directory "META-INF" has to ba all capital letters. Ignoring this leads to a crash on Windows systems but is handled gracefully on UNIX/Linux. As the documentation is clear about this we can wait until 2.1 with the fix, this is a RTFM.
.
retargeted
jl: are you able to make this into 2.2? is this crash exploitable, BTW?
Cannot reproduce. Also with "meta-inf" the extensions, which I tested, have been installed. However a lower case "meta-inf" is not officially supported.
jsk: can you please show how to reproduce this issue to jl? ;-)
On src680m199 (win) and OOF680m2 (lin) we have a freeze. Automated test: framework/basic/f_basic_meta-inf.bas Will attach bugdoc.
Created attachment 42402 [details] Extension that contains a lowercase meta-inf
jl: can you reproduce with the attached extension?
tested with OOF m4 on linux and windows and could not confirm. Maybe this only occurs in the automated test.
