Detail

A vulnerability has been found and corrected in nss_db:

The Free Software Foundation (FSF) Berkeley DB NSS module (aka libnss-db) 2.2.3pre1 reads the DB_CONFIG file in the current working directory, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information via a symlink attack involving a setgid or setuid application that uses this module (CVE-2010-0826).

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
