SuSE Bugzilla reports: Marcus Meissner 2012-07-06 12:18:54 UTC found by grep. /etc/init.d/sfcb uses: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH which is insecure if LD_LIBRARY_PATH is empty. It makes binaries use libraries from the current directory, which is a problem if e.g. a administrator starts the sfcb service from a untrusted directory. Also it uses it to set /usr/lib, a default path. Just get rid of the whole if ... as it is useless. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=770234
