SUSE-SA:2006:007: binutils,kdelibs3,kdegraphics3,koffice,dia,lyx Vulnerability Scan
Vulnerability Scan Summary
Check for the version of the binutils,kdelibs3,kdegraphics3,koffice,dia,lyx package
Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory SUSE-SA:2006:007 (binutils,kdelibs3,kdegraphics3,koffice,dia,lyx).
A SUSE specific patch to the GNU linker 'ld' removes redundant RPATH
and RUNPATH components when linking binaries.
Due to a bug in this routine ld occasionally left empty RPATH
components. When running a binary with empty RPATH components the
dynamic linker tries to load shared libraries from the current
directory.
By tricking users into running an affected application in a
directory that contains a specially crafted shared library an
attacker could execute arbitrary code with the user id of the
victim.
