Comment 1 Mattias Ellert 2010-10-22 08:49:00 UTC

This CVE is about a vulnerability in shell wrappers around some commands that are used in the Debian packages. These wrappers are specific to Debian and the vulnerability therefore does not affect Fedora.

According to the CVE the affected files (in Debian) are:

/usr/bin/proofserv
/usr/bin/xrdcp
/usr/bin/xrdpwdadmin
/usr/bin/xrd

The Fedora package uses the default wrapper from upstream for /usr/bin/proofserv which does not have this issue.

The remaining three are not provided by root in Fedora, since xrootd has been unbundled and is provided by a separate package. These three files as provided by the xrootd-clients package are not shell wrappers that modify LD_LIBRARY_PATH but the binaries themselves.
