gromacs: code execution
| Package(s): | gromacs |
CVE #(s): | CVE-2010-4001
|
| Created: | November 15, 2010 |
Updated: | November 17, 2010 |
| Description: |
From the Red Hat bugzilla:
Ludwig Nussel discovered that gromacs contained a script that could be abused by an attacker to execute arbitrary code.
The vulnerability is due to an insecure change to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and
environment variable used by ld.so(8) to look for libraries in directories
other than the standard paths. When there is an empty item in the
colon-separated list of directories in LD_LIBRARY_PATH, ld.so(8) treats it as a '.' (current working directory). If the given script is executed from a directory where a local attacker could write files, there is a chance for exploitation.
