6.9
Medium
| Vector | AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Ember version 0.5.7
Description
The issue allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse shared library in the current working directory. This is due to Ember placing a zero-length directory name in the LD LIBRARY PATH.
Recommendations
For Ember version 0.5.7, consider restricting access to the LD LIBRARY PATH environment variable to prevent unauthorized modifications until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using shared libraries from untrusted sources in the current working directory.
