NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tomboy package and not the tomboy package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

The (1) tomboy and (2) tomboy-panel scripts in GNOME Tomboy 1.5.2 and earlier place 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: vector 1 exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2005-4790.2.
