CVE-2006-4124

The MITRE CVE dictionary describes this issue as:

The libXm library in LessTif 0.95.0 and earlier allows local users to gain privileges via the DEBUG_FILE environment variable, which is used to create world-writable files when libXm is run from a setuid program.

Find out more about CVE-2006-4124 from the MITRE CVE dictionary dictionary and NIST NVD.

Statement

LessTif is shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 but not 3 or 4. On Enterprise Linux 2.1 we build LessTif with debugging disabled, so the DEBUG_FILE environment variable is ignored and this issue cannot be exploited.
