[Issue 127418] Windows Installer is unsigned

[bugzilla]

https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=127418

--- Comment #4 from Kyle H  ---
Realistically, there's a few issues here.  (I understand that this is probably
not the best place to describe it, but I'm bringing a couple of threads
together here for this analysis.)

Signing the MSI and installer EXE is the simplest part of this.  They would
need to be submitted to Symantec's signing infrastructure, and utilize credits
to do so.  (You can test it by using signtool.exe, from the Windows SDK, with a
self-signed certificate generated by certtool.exe.  But the signature
verifiable with the self-signed certificate won't mean anything, other than
"these things can be signed".)

But ideally, the issue doesn't end there.  The freeware source code/text editor
Notepad++ had to push a release fairly recently because one of the CIA tool
disclosures referred to a persistent implant enabled not because of unsigned
DLLs, but because the signatures on the DLLs weren't checked.  See
https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/notepad-7.3.3-fix-cia-hacking-issue.html for
details.

Note: I'm not saying that OpenOffice has been hacked.  I'm saying that it would
be incredibly easy to hack in the same manner, and if it's used for
general-purpose office tasks it eventually will be targeted.  (And even if you
trust US CIA, there's all sorts of other actors -- not limited to state-level
adversaries, but also to any criminal who has or can hire the expertise -- who
can do so.)

So, again ideally, it would be good if on Windows all of the DLLs and
everything that could be digitally signed (which you can determine by using
signtool.exe on every artifact that OpenOffice includes in its installer) had
its signature checked before it were loaded.  This would take a LOT more
credits in Symantec's infrastructure, and I don't know if Apache would consider
it to be worth it.

It would also be awesome if it could be done on MacOSX, but I do understand
that there may be other (legal department) reasons why it can't necessarily be
done as easily there.

And I don't know of any digital signature standard for binaries or dynamic
shared objects on Linux.

Ah, ok, now I see what you mean. I had to deselect the object and reselect it
to have the status bar being updated.

I am sorry. Either I haven't understood, or my installation behaves different.
If I make a right click on the diagram and then click on "object" the object
dialog pops up. The measure units in the object dialog are shown in
centimeters. If I click on "cancle" or on "ok" in both cases the status bar
doesn't change and still shows 1.97 x 1.97-

[Issue 108229] Date/Time functions do not work with parameters

Comment on attachment 67513
  --> https://bz.apache.org/ooo/attachment.cgi?id=67513
document to reproduce the bug case

This appears the same problem in different terms from my experience - date/time
functions can't work with date/time strings that have auto-appended apostrophes
- and this happens when date/time strings are copy-pasted into Calc.  Trying to
bulk edit them out is not possible due to an additional bug that causes
mangling of the string when trying to do a simple global replace of "'" for "".
 Hand editing of strings in Calc does fix the problem, which appears to be an
auto-correct adding of an "'" to the date/time string upon pasting.  Can this
be fixed by a simple setting change?  Any help appreciated.

I was not able to reproduce with Windows 7 x64 Pro.

Step 7, you mentions insert "hello" field.
So, you can't have red-cross enabled until this field is in your document.
If I remove it, I can remove field into dialogbox too.
But no crash occurs.

Remember that Windows Vista is end-of-life.
This kind of problem occurs when insufficient memory.

Created attachment 86109
  --> https://bz.apache.org/ooo/attachment.cgi?id=86109=edit
No problem

I was not able to reproduce.
Download your document and save as: no crash.
See screenshot attached.

This document is weird:
- an object OLE in front with a Writer document.
- many pictures linked with an https website: cdn0.vox-cdn.com 

The best way to embed content from internet is to use a special paste.
