CVSS v2.0

6.9

Medium

Base vector

AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Banshee versions 1.8.0 and earlier

Description The issue allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse shared library in the current working directory. This is due to the banshee-1 and muinshee scripts in affected versions of Banshee placing a zero-length directory name in the LD LIBRARY PATH.

Recommendations For versions 1.8.0 and earlier, consider restricting access to the LD LIBRARY PATH environment variable to prevent unauthorized modifications. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the banshee-1 and muinshee scripts until a patch is available.
