Description:   Opened: 2007-08-17 16:50 0000 
Jab Oravec has reported a security issue in Tomboy, which can be exploited by
malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges.

The security issue is caused due to the "/usr/bin/tomboy" script incorrectly
setting the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This can be exploited to gain
escalated privileges by e.g. tricking a user into running Tomboy in a directory
containing a malicious library.

Should fix this issue.

As upstream is unresponsive could you please include the patch without the
change from sh -> bash in the first line (I talked to uberlord about it, the
syntax is not bash specific as I first thought)?
