Security Fix
- CVE-2008-3277
- It was found that the ibmssh executable had an insecure relative RPATH (runtime library search path) set in the ELF (Executable and Linking Format) header. A local user able to convince another user to run ibmssh in an attacker-controlled directory could run arbitrary code with the privileges of the victim.
Bug Fix
- BZ#711779
- Under certain circumstances, the "ibdiagnet -r" command could suffer from memory corruption and terminate with a "double free or corruption" message and a backtrace. With this update, the correct memory management function is used to prevent the corruption.
