FKIE_CVE-2010-4001

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2010-11-06 00:00 - Updated: 2025-04-11 00:51
Severity ?
Summary
GMXRC.bash in Gromacs 4.5.1 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. NOTE: CVE disputes this issue because the GMXLDLIB value is always added to the beginning of LD_LIBRARY_PATH at a later point in the script
