Tomboy is a GTK-based desktop note-taking application written in C# and
|
|
the Mono C#.

<p>
|
|
Jan Oravec reported that the "/usr/bin/tomboy" script sets the
|
|
"LD_LIBRARY_PATH" environment variable incorrectly, which might result
|
|
in the current working directory (.) to be included when searching for
|
|
dynamically linked libraries of the Mono Runtime application.

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A local attacker could entice a user into running Tomboy in a directory
|
|
containing a specially crafted library file to execute arbitrary code
|
|
with the privileges of the user running Tomboy.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Do not run Tomboy from an untrusted working directory.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All Tomboy users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-misc/tomboy-0.8.1-r1"</code>
