SuSE Linux 10.0 ld_library_path LD_LIBRARY_PATH memory corruption

CVSS Meta Temp Score CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.	Current Exploit Price (≈) Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.	CTI Interest Score Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in SuSE Linux 10.0 (Operating System). Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality in the library ld_library_path. The manipulation of the argument LD_LIBRARY_PATH with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. Impacted is integrity. CVE summarizes:

Multiple untrusted search path vulnerabilities in SUSE Linux 10.0 cause the working directory to be added to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, which might allow local users to execute arbitrary code via (1) liferea or (2) banshee.

The weakness was published 11/22/2007 (Website). The advisory is shared for download at novell.com. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2005-4791 since 04/26/2006. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack needs to be approached locally. No form of authentication is required for exploitation. There are known technical details, but no exploit is available.

It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 28341 (Fedora 7 : liferea-1.4.8-1.fc7 (2007-3733)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Fedora Local Security Checks.

There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (26372), Tenable (28341), SecurityFocus (BID 15040†), OSVDB (39580†) and Secunia (SA27771†). Similar entries are available at VDB-28099, VDB-28098 and VDB-28097. Once again VulDB remains the best source for vulnerability data.
