Blam is an RSS and Atom feed reader for GNOME written in C#.

<description>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The "/usr/bin/blam" script sets the "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" environment
|
|
variable incorrectly, which might result in the current working
|
|
directory (.) being included when searching for dynamically linked
|
|
libraries of the Mono Runtime application.
|
|
</p>
|

</description>
|
|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A local attacker could entice a user to run Blam in a directory
|
|
containing a specially crafted library file which could result in the
|
|
execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running
|
|
Blam.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Do not run Blam from an untrusted working directory.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All Blam users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-news/blam-1.8.4"</code>
