SUSE Linux Multiple Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerabilities

Multiple SUSE Linux applications are prone to a local privilege-escalation vulnerability because affected binaries handle the 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH' variable in an unsafe manner.

A local attacker may exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in shared libraries in the context of a user that runs the affected application.

Other unspecified packages are affected; if these other packages contain setuid-superuser privileges, then local escalation of privileges may be possible.
