CVE-2010-3996 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2010-3996):
  festival_server in Centre for Speech Technology Research (CSTR) Festival,
  probably 2.0.95-beta and earlier, places a zero-length directory name in the
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH, which allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan
  horse shared library in the current working directory.


Please punt vulnerable versions and verify that the current one is fixed.
