Package name tomboy
Date March 7th, 2008
Advisory ID MDVSA-2008:064
Affected versions 2007.1, 2008.0
Synopsis Updated tomboy packages fix improper LD_LIBRARY_PATH handling

Problem Description

A flaw in how tomboy handles LD_LIBRARY_PATH was discovered where by
appending paths to LD_LIBRARY_PATH the program would also search the
current directory for shared libraries. In directories containing
network data, those libraries could be injected into the application.

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
