Untrusted search path vulnerability in the PySys_SetArgv API function in Python 2.6 and earlier, and possibly later versions, prepends an empty string to sys.path when the argv[0] argument does not contain a path separator, which might allow local users to execute arbitrary code via a Trojan horse Python file in the current working directory.

Untrusted search path vulnerability in ingvalidpw in Ingres 2.6, Ingres 2006 release 1 (aka 9.0.4), and Ingres 2006 release 2 (aka 9.1.0) on Linux and HP-UX allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted shared library, related to a “pointer overwrite vulnerability.”

Unspecified vulnerability in the Database Scheduler component in Oracle Database 10.2.0.4 and 11.1.0.6 has unknown impact and local attack vectors. NOTE: the previous information was obtained from the Oracle July 2008 CPU. Oracle has not commented on reliable researcher claims that this is an untrusted search path issue that allows local users to gain privileges via a malicious (1) libclntsh.so or (2) libnnz10.so library.

Untrusted search path vulnerability in dbmsrv in SAP MaxDB 7.6.03.15 on Linux allows local users to gain privileges via a modified PATH environment variable.

Untrusted search path vulnerability in the add_filename_to_string function in intl/gettext/loadmsgcat.c for Elinks 0.11.1 allows local users to cause Elinks to use an untrusted gettext message catalog (.po file) in a “../po” directory, which can be leveraged to conduct format string attacks.
