Description Tim Sammut (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-03-14 04:06:12 UTC
From the Secunia advisory at: http://secunia.com/advisories/43375/

Two security issues have been reported in resource-agents, which can
be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges.

The security issues are caused due to the "SAPDatabase" and
"SAPInstance" scripts incorrectly setting the environment variable
LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This can be exploited to gain escalated privileges
by e.g. tricking a user into running the script in a directory
containing a malicious library.


@cluster, is =sys-cluster/resource-agents-1.0.4-r1 a suitable target for stabilization? I believe 1.0.4 contains this fix. Thanks.
