SuSE Security Announcement SuSE-SA:2001:01 - The runtime-linker as used in the SuSE distributions ignores the content of the critical environment variables, allowing local users to link against user-specified libraries and obtain the privilege level of a setuid binary. To eliminate these problems, we provide update packages that completely disregard the LD_* variables upon runtime-linking of a binary that has an effective uid different from the caller's userid.
