Descriptions

Untrusted search path vulnerability in a certain Red Hat build script for Standards Based Linux Instrumentation for Manageability (sblim) libraries before 1-13a.el4_6.1 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 4, and before 1-31.el5_2.1 in RHEL 5, allows local users to gain privileges via a malicious library in a certain subdirectory of /var/tmp, related to an incorrect RPATH setting, as demonstrated by a malicious libc.so library for tog-pegasus.

Vulnerabilidad de búsqueda de ruta no confiable en ciertas secuencias de comandos web usadas para "construir" Standards Based Linux Instrumentation for Manageability (sblim) bibliotecas anteriores a 1-13a.el4_6.1 en Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 4 y anteriores a 1-31.el5_2.1 en RHEL 5. Permite a usuarios locales elevar sus privilegios a través de una biblioteca maliciosa en cierto directorio de var/tmp, relacionado con una incorrecta configuración RPATH, como se muestra en una librería maliciosa libc.so para tog-pegasus.
