Debian · Osh · CVE-2005-3346
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
OSH versions 1.7 through 1.7-14
**Description**
The issue concerns multiple vulnerabilities in the OSH package of the Debian GNU/Linux operating system, which can be exploited by a local attacker to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the environment variable substitution code, allowing local users to inject arbitrary environment variables, such as `LD PRELOAD`, via specially crafted pathname arguments.
**Recommendations**
For OSH versions 1.7 through 1.7-14, consider restricting access to sensitive environment variables to minimize the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, avoid using environment variable substitutions in pathname arguments until a patch is available. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
