Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.66354
Category:FreeBSD Local Security Checks
Title:FreeBSD Security Advisory (FreeBSD-SA-09:16.rtld.asc)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update to the system; as announced in the referenced advisory FreeBSD-SA-09:16.rtld.asc
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to the system
as announced in the referenced advisory FreeBSD-SA-09:16.rtld.asc

Vulnerability Insight:
The run-time link-editor, rtld, links dynamic executable with their
needed libraries at run-time. It also allows users to explicitly
load libraries via various LD_ environmental variables.

When running setuid programs rtld will normally remove potentially
dangerous environment variables. Due to recent changes in FreeBSD
environment variable handling code, a corrupt environment may
result in attempts to unset environment variables failing.

Solution:
Upgrade your system to the appropriate stable release
or security branch dated after the correction date.

CVSS Score:
7.2
