Subject: [Bug dynamic-link/16750] New: ldd should not try to execute the binaries
Date: Tue, 25 Mar 2014 10:06:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-16750-131@http.sourceware.org/bugzilla/> (raw)

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16750

            Bug ID: 16750
           Summary: ldd should not try to execute the binaries
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.18
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: dynamic-link
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: schwab@linux-m68k.org

Currently, if ld.so --verify indicates that the binary has an interpreter, ldd
tries to execute it directly (with the appropriate environment to request
listing dependent libraries).  This can result in a random interpreter to be
executed on behalf of the user and is insecure.  Instead, ldd should always use
the known good dynamic linker installed in the system to list the library
dependencies.

See <https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=677787> for references.
