Published:2005-10-07
Updated:2018-10-30
Summary:Multiple untrusted search path vulnerabilities in SUSE Linux 9.3 and 10.0, and possibly other distributions, cause the working directory to be added to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, which might allow local users to execute arbitrary code via (1) beagle, (2) tomboy, or (3) blam.
Note: in August 2007, the tomboy vector was reported for other distributions.
