CVE-2005-4790: Multiple untrusted search path vulnerabilities in SUSE Linux 9.3 and 10.0, and possibly other distributions...

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.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Linux desktop package issue where some applications could trust the current folder when looking for libraries. A local user might abuse that behavior to run code through affected applications. The source bundle names SUSE Linux 9.3 and 10.0, with later reports involving other distributions for Tomboy. Exposure is most likely on legacy Linux systems running affected desktop packages, especially SUSE Linux 9.3 or 10.0. The bundle also references Gentoo, Fedora, Ubuntu, Mandriva, and GNOME reports, but does not provide a complete affected-version matrix. Treat as a legacy hygiene issue unless affected multi-user Linux desktops remain in use. It deserves remediation in modernization or patching programs, but the provided evidence does not support emergency response or active-exploitation assumptions. Mitigation focus: Inventory legacy Linux hosts for beagle, tomboy, and blam packages.; Apply relevant vendor updates from SUSE, Gentoo, Fedora, Ubuntu, or Mandriva.; Check current vendor guidance for package-specific fixed versions..
