Description

ltdl.c in libltdl in GNU Libtool 1.5.x, and 2.2.6 before 2.2.6b, as used in Ham Radio Control Libraries, Q, and possibly other products, attempts to open a .la file in the current working directory, which allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse file.

Solution(s)

  • oracle-linux-upgrade-libtool
  • oracle-linux-upgrade-libtool-libs
  • oracle-linux-upgrade-libtool-ltdl
  • oracle-linux-upgrade-libtool-ltdl-devel

With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
