2.1 LOW — AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N

Description

When using the LD_PRELOAD environmental variable in SUID or SGID applications, glibc does not verify that preloaded libraries in /etc/ld.so.cache are also SUID/SGID, which could allow a local user to overwrite arbitrary files by loading a library from /lib or /usr/lib.

Affected configurations

• mandrakesoft mandrake linux 6.0 • mandrakesoft mandrake linux 6.1 • mandrakesoft mandrake linux 7.0 • mandrakesoft mandrake linux 7.1 • mandrakesoft mandrake linux 7.2 • mandrakesoft mandrake linux corporate server 1.0.1 • redhat linux 6.0 • redhat linux 6.1 • redhat linux 6.2 • trustix secure linux 1.1 • trustix secure linux 1.2 • turbolinux turbolinux (<= 6.0.5) • turbolinux turbolinux 6.1
