Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions GnuCash versions 2.3.15 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 gnc-test-env placing a zero-length directory name in the LD LIBRARY PATH.
