Description Tim Sammut (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-08-20 17:40:12 UTC
From a posting to the "oss-security" list:

SLiM versions prior to 1.3.1 assigned logged on users a predefined PATH
which included './'. This allowed unintentional code execution (e.g.
planted binary) and has been fixed by the developers in version 1.3.2.

From the upstream's repo, this was indeed fixed in rev 171, which is after 1.3.1 was released (rev 165), so 1.3.1 is vulnerable.
Comment 1 Jeremy Olexa (darkside) (RETIRED) archtester gentoo-dev Security 2010-08-20 18:15:02 UTC
Gentoo Version 1.3.1_p20091114:

default_path        ./:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin

Gentoo Version 1.3.2:

default_path        /bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin

My ACK for stablereq, proceed at security teams discretion since it hasn't been the normal 30 days.

The oldest version of x11-misc/slim currently in the tree is 1.3.5-r4. Shouldn't this bug be closed?

Denis.
