Another Office 2008 installer security flaw

,----[ Quote ]
| This is the second installer-related issue with Office 2008. It was 
| previously revealed that the installer incorrectly sets user ID 502 as the 
| owner of the software, which could result in a user without admin rights to 
| modify Office program files.
