Currently unrated

Key Information:

Vendor: Gnome

What is CVE-2001-0084?

The GTK+ library is vulnerable due to its handling of the GTK_MODULES environmental variable, allowing local users to define arbitrary modules. This could potentially lead to privilege escalation when GTK+ is utilized by programs with setuid or setgid permissions. Consequently, malicious local users may exploit this design flaw to execute untrusted code with elevated privileges, thereby compromising system integrity.
