CVE-2005-4790: Novell Suse Linux

Medium severity, CVSS 6.9. EPSS: 0.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

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.

Affected products

  • Novell Suse Linux: version 10.0 only
  • Suse Suse Linux: version 9.3 only
