Description Tim Sammut (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-11-22 04:31:20 UTC
From $URL:

The mono debugger scripts (mdb and mdb-symbolreader) misuse the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable (empty case) which could allow loading shared libraries from the current directory. 

Upstream has released 2.8.1 which contains the fix for this issue.

This patch could probably be backported to mono-debugger-2.6:
