Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Untrusted Search Path due to the improper handling of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. An attacker can control the loading of dynamically shared libraries in statically compiled setuid binaries that invoke dlopen, including those that make internal calls after setlocale or to NSS functions such as getaddrinfo.
