request CVE for vdrtestleak



Hello everyone,

Recently I was looking at CVE-2010-3387(for purposes of patching it downstream) and I glanced upon the discussion and the patch that had been proposed earlier - you can view them at [1].

As discussed earlier, I feel that the original issue was not a security issue as it had a ";"(semi-colon) in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

$ echo "/usr/lib/debug;$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
/usr/lib/debug;

However, if the case of the patch, if LD_LIBRARY_PATH were not defined, you'd have :-

$ echo "/usr/lib/debug:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"
/usr/lib/debug:

and ld.so would treat the empty item as '.'


Cheers,
zm
