Inführ's research also revealed another vulnerability that allowed attackers to execute arbitrary code in LibreOffice. The researcher used a script that was installed by default but which he had never installed before. He then exploited the weakness and, using a remote code execution vulnerability, ran a command on a vulnerable computer to execute arbitrary code in LibreOffice — again, it is possible that LibreOffice was not installed by default on the affected computers.

Read previous stories on this topic:The first of many articles of its kind by Christopher Dolan on the history of slavery in America. This first article examines the relationship between slavery and the state of the South, and how slavery was abolished in America, and how it became a problem for the South. It also looks at some of the early abolitionists' criticisms of the state and how it was able to sustain them.

In the early 20th century, the United States was the world's largest producer of slaves. In fact, in the 1790s, the United States made nearly three times as many slaves as England had in 1815. Today, only 3.6 million citizens live in the United States. This is an enormous increase from the number of slaves in the 1830s and 1840s, but still, America has a long way to go to maintain a healthy industrial base.

In an era of rapid economic expansion, many states began to enact laws requiring slave owners to take responsibility for their own slaves — laws often involving the death, imprisonment, or death of a slave owner. In some states, such as California, the state passed laws requiring that owners of slaves must pay their slave owners, with no exceptions. (In the United States, this was in 1842; it was repealed in 1878.)

The practice of slavery was often referred to as "the slave trade," and some Southern states considered it to be their own worst enemy. Some had a practice of slavery even if it was legal and were free to do it.
